    Agreed. Pull them out and put in 750s. You will not regret it. It's easy and the extra space is great.

      Thanks guys I think I will go ahead and order them and try using them on top of the hard tanks, the worst that could happen I guess is I'll only get half capacity out of them. Even at half capacity with the full hard tank and the bags half full I'm still close to that 750lbs. If I don't like the way they fill I guess I can just pull the hard tanks. I really like having the hard tanks because there is still quite abit of storage and if I want to add water or not I don't have to worry about moving all the crap in there. The wake right now with this boat is more than adequate for wakeboarding for me and my family. Its just that for surfing I’d want the extra weight of the 750’s. Also being able to use the gauges to fill half a hard tank(wife and daughter like to board at ½ hard tank) or ¾ is nice to.

        Noricron I have the 750's in my 08 210 on top of the hard tanks. I used to run the 400's and just upgraded this year. They work great and fit well. The only downfall to them is with that much weight in the rear you have to run more weight in the nose. I use the integrated bow sac and now use one of my 400lb sacs on the floor between the front seats. The 400lb sac on the floor does not fill all the way. I would guess it is about 250lbs-300lbs. The other thing with the 750's is they are longer than the 400lb sacs and extend past the front of the hard tank. When emptying them if you want it completely empty you have to lift on the front of the sac because it sits where the floor starts to slope under the seat. It is not a big deal for me. I would guestimate that there is approximately 50lbs left in the front of the bag where it is sitting on the sloped part of the floor. BTW I have not done any surfing with them yet but am sure it will be very nice.
