    Fly High Nautique Additional Ballast System - will separate components

    I bought a piggyback system from Fly High for my 2009 SANTE 230. However, I sold it and bought a 2010 230. The 2010 has a different belly ballast configuration and the ski locker is sealed, so the belly sack I bought won't work.

    What comes with the system I bought is:
    2 400lb vdrive sacks
    instructions
    hose
    fittings
    1 nautique belly "arrow" sac

    I went with the belly sack instead of the sac that fits under the front seats because I use that area under the front seats to store life jackets and I didn't want to give up that space. I never put much in the bilge, so I wanted to use the arrow sac, which weighs the same as the under the seat u shaped sac.

    The arrow sac retails for $339.

    The two vdrive sacs retail for $200 for the pair.

    The misc fittings and hoses are about $30.

    From what the guys at Fly High told me, Nautique installed this exact same system in a 230 and loved it. The only additional harwear you need is a handful of cheap hose claimps and a T fitting that you have to buy from Home Depot. It's all detailed in the instructions.

    I'll be glad to separate this stuff if anyone wants to make an offer. If someone wants the whole shebang, I'll sell it for $400 + shipping.

    This system will work with any nautique that has the U shaped belly tank.

    Let me know! It's still in ths shrink wrap!

      Replied.

      It will work if you have a U shaped belly tank.

        Tommy I may be interested in the mushroom sac for under the bow if it will fit in my 08 210 with a U shaped belly tank.

          I do not think the "mushroom" sac will work with a 210 because the bow area where the arrow part goes is too small. I was told this by my nautique dealer when I ordered my upgraded ballast system for my 210, so I had to put a longer tube sac in the ski locker instead.

            Thanks JWAT, Hey are you using just the tube or do you have the integrated bow sac along with the tube? Have you got to try out your set up yet?

              I am using the tube sac in the ski locker and the bow sac as well. I haven't got to try it out yet, but I should have everything ready to go after Saturday. So, as soon as I get a chance after that, I will be testing it out. I will have stock ballast, plus the 400 lb v-drive sacs on top of the stock tanks in the back, plus the locker sac and bow sac, plus 400 lbs. of lead. We'll see how that works and go from there...

                For what it's worth, the guys at Fly High told me it would work in a 210... Maybe it would fill up a bit more in a 220 or a 230, but its got to weigh more than a tube sack when full because it spreads out laterally.

                    I kind of thought that too, but I was just going on what the dealer told me...and they have installed a lot of these systems in 210s and 230s.

                      Well, since I haven't put one in a 210 myself, I can't verify the results. However, I was told that the factory helped develop the arrow sac for use in the 210, 220, 230. Maybe that was b.s. Oh well. Maybe someone who has tried one in a 210 will chip in.

                        Guys
                        I have the Arrow in my 2010 210 SAN. It works great and YES correct craft Orlando helped design the arrows for 210 & 230 not sure about the 220 as I didnt ask but my friend has it installed in his 220. Works great. The sac is slightly big in the tube part of the air so it just does fill completely.
