It's a SV-211 but Pulled my hard tanks 2 years and replaced with 400lb sacks....no regrets at all... Only positive!!! Tons more space for kids kneeboards, wakeboard's, etc.

Just to add to the posts
I did it to an 08 210. Pulled the tanks went with bro stock 900's. After about a month of riding I am probably the only one who went back to the piggy back system. My reason is because I have (2)young girls who ride and I pull a lot of newbs. Not having the ballast gauges for me was little tricky on keeping the wake nice for them. My boat sits in a lift basically out my back door so I don't need transport a ton of gear to the lake regularly. I see a huge benefit to those who travel though to pull the tanks. Your storage is almost tripled back there with bags empty and tanks out.Comment

The storage almost increases to the point of too much. With the bags completely empty I've seen people get in the lockers to get stuff off the floor. HahaComment

I pulled the tanks on my 2013 210 and added 1100s. Best thing ever. The storage is so nice. I find the most accurate way to figure out your levels is to fill everything full until it's coming out the overflow. Then start to dump. The gauges will go down from there and you can figure out what percentage works best for whatever you are doing; boarding, surfing, etc....Comment

iamcdn , do you run the 1100's full for the wakeboard wake.if so what weight do you have up the front of the boat.. If not how full do you run them. Also what prop are you running.
ThanksComment

We are beginner wakeboarders so I usually don't run at that weight but I have with the stock Team Edition prop. We have the bow bags piggy backed on the stock bow weight. I can't remember for sure but I think it's about 400lbs above the stock. With all ballast full (1100s in back, stock bow hard tank and under bow seat bags) and 3 males weighing 150-185lbs it took us about 30 seconds to plane with a guy running to the front of the boat. It did plane, got to 23mph and the wake looked huge. Nobody was back there riding, we were just playing around after a surf.Originally posted by chopp View Post
I did just upgrade to the 1617 prop though but haven't checked it out yet.

Yup, that is right. I just searched the thread that got me thinking of the 1617.

BTW, I recommend reinforcing the divider with the 1100lb bags. Otherwise the pressure from the bags will cause dividers to bow. At least in a 2013 or earlier.

Ok great. Good read about the props too.i will be interested in how you find the 1617 with the amount of weight you are running. I am trying to decide between the 1617 and the 1433Comment
