As far as next steps in ballast - reach out to chpthrl on the Tige owners site. He has a custom bag that fits right in place and plugs in place of the factory surd ballast. Great bag and reasonably prices. I run mine a bit different that Robert...

4000lbs of ballast plus people? Does the boat float - coast guard weighting on that boat can't be more than 2,600 lbs.

The board sucks bottom line - to eaches own. $450 to the first taker - no dings, scratches, etc. only ridden one day. Send me a note if interested.

I can tell you the LF Chase Hazen Sixer absolutely blows - It is the slowest board I have ever ridden even after trying to use all 6 fin permutations. Given it is one of their top boards I would not put faith into the custom.
