Increasing the ballast

[4th ski-doo]

I was a three event skier and now the v drive has really got me hooked but I know nothing about it.

Where is the best paces to shop to increase my ballasts tanks for a 200 sport?

How do I get started installing them?

Ill take any pointers, thanks

both sides of the V and under the seats up front is pretty typical set up. Not sure how much room there is in the 200 sport but you could at least get 400lbs on each side I'm sure, most run at least a 750 on each side of the V but that is if there is no hard tanks (in the super sport/ SAN hulls) Piggy back on top of the factory

Here is a link to install instructions for a typical "piggy back" setup. the factory tanks overflow is routed to the sac and you install a vent line on the sac to the thru hull fitting to serve as the new overflow. This is how I -- and many folks here on PN -- added ballast.

Wakemakers.com is a great place to see what options are available for your boat. They have a page that is boat/model specific on what will fit. They offer after the sale service.

Dies anyone just make a larger tank? So I can just replace the rear tanks or is the only solution bags on top of the tanks?

[s_kelley2000]

I don't know of any companies that make bigger tanks. Bags piggy bagged from the tanks is a reliable set up if executed correctly. Your best bet might be to remove the rear tanks and replace with 750# bags. That will be extremely reliable and you have more storage and easier engine access when they are empty. The only downside is your ballast gauges will no longer work.
