Hi all, I have an '08 X-Star with the additional flyhigh ballast kit. With the stock ballast and the flyhigh kit full, the boat is still really stern heavy. I added an additional 400# flyhigh bag in the walk-thru, but it still isn't enough. What are some other bag options for the walk-thru, im not to fond of lead since I trailer to and from the lake. What set-up is everyone else running. Thanks a lot!

That looks like a Fly High Pro X Fat Sac (750lbs 50" x 20" x 20"). It is a little big to be the Fly High Pro X V-Drive Surf Sac (400lbs 42" x 16" x 16"). I wonder if anyone has ever tried to shuv the Fly High Gravity Games Center sac (1180lbs 88" x 19" x 19") up there. I think it would squeeze in there and you would get a large majority of the capacity.

We run the old school fat sac's down the walkway. I'd guess it holds around 400lbs. Keep in mind, though, that the X-stars really like to be a$$ heavy. Otherwise the wake is all transition and no-kick. I've always been a 50-50 nose to rear weighting guy, but the X-star I'd say is closer to 70% rear and 30% front.

FWIW, you can definitely tow with lead. A few hundred pounds wont hurt anything. We've towed with a couple thousand before without any problems. The biggest thing is balancing the lead front to rear so you don't end up with a really heavy or light tongue weight. You can always move the weight over the axles when you tow, then re-distribute when you get where you're going. I guess it more depends on what tow vehicle and how many hills you climb.
