    Safe Ballast?

    We found out that this was the proper way to weight an 02 team. The longer you ride, the wake gets smaller, thus preventing injuries from riding too tired. Remember, safety first!

    That ballast looks familiar!! I'm sure it didn't last long.

      Whats with all the light beer? I think real beer would weigh more. You must be on the low carb diet.

        I thought the SANTE had storage issues. Did all that beer fit in the stock coolers?

          Another advantage is the distribution of the ballast throughout the boat.

          Nice tip gotwake!

              Gotwake... that is decent ballast, however I've found in my old '01 SAN this configuration gave a very nice wake.

                  I hope the TAP was on the boat somewhere.

                    Man - you guys are good! Who knows, with a little hard work, maybe we'll progress to that level. And ya, I'm a Coors Light guy, the corona was for some friends. But I may switch back to a regular beer, you guys may be right, I think that it would provide more ballast. I sure learn a lot here, thanks guys!
