I agree 100%! I picked up a tube sac and a fat brick a couple of weeks ago and am extremely impressed. The fat brick is great for moving around the boat to balance weight. I plan on picking up a couple more of them over the winter.

Why does a bag of water need a review?

RE: Fly High Pro-X fat sac review

They're a bit nicer then "a bag of water" trust me I used to use garbage bags, and these are much nicer.

Dave and Pat are some friends of mine, and they are the best sacs I've ever used, so I told them I would do it. Why does anything really need a review? It's better to gain knowledge firsthand IMO. Sorry that the review wasn't helpful to you, I understand that not everyone would find interest in reading such a thing.

No offense to Dragon88, but Hollywood cracks me up. That was really funny. BTW read the review and it was good. Nothing wrong with pimping a good product.

I for one definately appreciate the time and effort of the review. If you own a SAN and wanna get the best wake possible without lead, you are in for adding lot's of bags filled with water.

Thanks Dragon, you finally answered my question as to how they fit in over the wedge hard tanks. We are using some older side sacks in there and probably only getting 200lbs each. We also need to permanantly plumb them in. Those look like they have all the correct ports to do so, fill/vent/drain.

All I need out of the back storage is a small space to lay a couple vests. We definately need a fat brick too. I have also toyed with the idea of getting some custom sacks made and removing the hard tanks completely for simplicity sake. We shall see about all that.

Amazing how a $200 "bag of water" really makes a $50k wakeboard boat work all that much better.

Couple of questions if you will Dragon.

How much do those things hold exactly??

Looks like the fill is pretty easy with the top quick change port, how about emptying?? Was it hard to access the bottom drain??

Thanks in advnce.

RE: Fly High Pro-X fat sac review

First, I can understand Holywood's humor, so it's all good.

Flux, I believe they are 370lbs each, the emptying is pretty easy, I'm not going to lie to you though once it gets about 2/3's empty you need to either push up the sac to get the water to the pump or switch to the quick disconnect on the taller side of the bag. But I would think this would be an issue with any sac in that compartment, it's just the way sacs sit on top of the wedge tanks. you could pretty easy fix that If you went to an automatic system though.

RE: Fly High Pro-X fat sac review

Cool and thanks. I have been wondering about those wedgies, the quality looks great on them.

So say another 700 hundred in the back and match that with 700 up front and we would be running ummmmmmmm, 2200 lbs. Yikes!!!!

We have an extra 400 in the back and 400 in the front right now, for about 1600-1700m total. Seems to do pretty well, but I personally have a problem getting pop, but I am sure alot of it is technique.

Again, thanks for the info.

No harm no foul, I was just pulling your chain. Yeah they are nice sacs, they don't roll off the seat as easily or around on the floor if you have to run it bow-stern.

Hmmm, how high do you want to go?!? You're having pop problems with a SAN loaded to 1600lbs?!?
