G Series Ballast Hard or Soft?

[AcerMD]

Is the sub floor on the G series hard tank or soft?

[NautiqueJeff]

Soft. They are actually Fly High bags.

[AcerMD]

Does that seem cheap to anyone?

[KTM525]

why? What is the advantage of subfloor hardtacks vs subfloor bags?

[AcerMD]

I've just heard of some problems...

Fly High bag in a sealed space. But you can change the bags if needed. Can not replace a sub floor hard tank.

[KTM525]

Bags are a problem when the storage is not sealed, little stones and other stuff can damage the bag.. but on the other side, easy to replace.. remove the bag and you have the space for work.. ;-). Advantage of hard takes.. maybe its easier to tell how much water is in the tank, thats something the G21 is not really good.

If you have heard problems of water being in the tanks its not from the bags. If you hose off the compartments or whatever and water gets on the hatches it can leak through.

[AcerMD]

Yeah I don't know either way. I know Nautique doesn't cheap out, it just seems different.

[AcerMD]

I've heard several issues with bags breaking/tearing causing huge $$$ repairs...???

[NautiqueJeff]

I haven't heard anything about that. Can't imagine the cost to replace a bag would be very much, and any G should still be under warranty anyway. Not sure how they'd get damaged either, being in a sealed compartment.

[robertsmcfarland]

I agree with you Jeff, I have not heard of problems ,either !! sounds like a competitor trying to get a a false story started....

[Nordicron]

Go over to team talk and that's one of the stones being thrown at the G.
I've heard many issues of MC tanks cracking and requiring the hull to be spilt which is a huge job too. So I think id take bags the way the G does it any day. Plus I'm thinking from a design and build standpoint you can get more water in a bag than u can in a tank.
I also don't think a little stone is gonna hurt a fly high bag these things are freaking tough!

I have yet to see this happen on a G. I've owned the same fly high bags for 8 years and even after walking on them, throwing wakeboards on them, and having them roll around in storage compartments, none have failed in any way.
As said above, I don't see how one of these bags would fail in a sealed compartment.

Acer, where did you hear this at? post up buddy, be specific. somehwere around 3000?+ Gs out on the street now, no reports of bags popping or leaking
