    Weight for 211

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to add weight to my 211. I mainly board and surf. From what I've read in the threads, it looks like I will be needing 200-400lbs on each side of the engine and 200-400lbs in the ski locker. I have no experience with fat sacs and don't know how big of a hassle it is to fill and drain. Can you plumb them into the factory ballast? Would that much lead be reasonable? Especially moving it from side to side to surf. I'm sure there are plenty of you guys that have this down to science.

    I have heard pop bags are better/easier than fat sacks......

      Just read a post by Clubmyke that says he uses about 14 pop bags (about 600lbs). If that is all the weight I need and placement dictates the rest, I'll be a happy man.

        These threads show the factory ballast being plumbed to new sacs. Also, search for user: "Noti_dad" and "wake" in General Nautique Discussions.
