Ok, I posted this once before and I'll ask again to see if anyone had done or heard of anyone doing it.
I have a 96 Malibu Sunsetter that I'd like to keep. Problem, I hate walking over ballast bags. I want to retrofit the boat with underfloor ballast. I'd redo the rear seat support, but it wouldn't be enough to do anything with.
I'm looking at this:
Ok, link doesn't work but here's the info:
Features:
High capacity, fully hidden, automated ballast system that allows for control of wake size, shape and length.
OEM level of integration that looks like it was factory installed.
Highest quality components for a lifetime of trouble free service.
Designed for ideal 40/60 front to rear weight distribution for handling and wake characteristics.
Fills and drains 1050lbs. in under 6 minutes!
Specifications:
Two custom ballast bags designed to optimize the capacity for each location
Four high capacity pumps
3/4" braid reinforced tubing
1 1/2" through-hull pickup
Two chrome plated through-hull fittings
Factory matched switches*
NMMA quality wiring harness for simple plug-and-play installation
All necessary clamps and fittings
Detailed instructions for easy installation
Anyone know of anyway to get the ballast under the floor? I don't have a storage trunk in the back of my boat, only a flip up rear seat rest and a pull out seat bottom.
