    Ballast Tanks

    I've been slowly trying to figure out what I want to do but sacks are going in.

    So far the choice is 400lb in line with the tanks in the rear lockers from Wake Makers.

    Kit includes everything to install for about $190 a side.

    Where's the best to shop? Should I can to verify fit? Front in line sac too?

    Thanks

      I put 750,s in mine, with bow sac.If I had to do it again I would put a 600lb port and a 400lb starboard, that way with both full you have a completely level boat and will make a good wake both sides and a killer wakeboard wake.

        I can get photos of our set up this afternoon when I get home. We have 400's in each locker plumbed on top of the stock tanks with no additional bow weight. If you do more than 400's you will need additional bow weight. If we fill both 400's for surfing we use human ballast in the bow on the surf side. our normal setup which I think is great is all stock tanks full, the surf side piggyback full and the non-surf side piggyback about %25 full. Human ballast can be moved around as needed but the boat likes a slight list to the surf side for sure. I really like the way ours is plumbed as it has quick disconnects everywhere to allow for changing sacs on the fly or pulling the vent line for emptying to ensure you don't collapse the hard tanks.

          I have a 2013 210 with NSS and replaced the hard tanks with 1100s in the back and added a bow sack under the seats. I highly recommend this as the added storage space is significant. Although, for me to ride with the rear lockers completely full I would need even more bow weight than filling the belly tank and the underseat bag so I rarely run the rears full. I just think the added space is so significant.

                I've got 550s plumbed in on top of stock tanks and love. Need more bow weight to plane out quicker wake boarding but otherwise great for surfing,

                    I am sure these won't help at all, but it's all I have.

                      You can see the overflow line in the back bottom that comes from the stock tank to the full port of the sac and the top two connections are the vent and drain lines. It works very smoothly. When draining, after the sacs are empty I just disconnect the full lines so the hard tanks don't collapse, takes about 30 second to disconnect.

                        Either do like is suggested and pull tanks and get 1100's or keep tanks and do the 750's. Don't sell yourself short with the 400's. U will regret not going larger.
                        I'm not sure if u can run an arrow sac in your year boat but I'd recommend that, if not that get the u shaped under seat bow sac also.
