Getting ready to tackle my winter project on my 211. I wanted to upgrade my ballast tanks. I talked with Wakemakers and they advised to use their piggy back system and add 2 800 lb bags for my rears and a 400 lb bag for the center. I initially was thinking to remove the hard tanks but now not sure if it's better to just use the piggy back system. What do you guys recommend? Am I missing anything? We basically just surf.....I know I should have bought a different boat, but trying to make the best out of what I have and not spend a fortune. Thanks for your help.

Your best bet is to just pull the tanks. It opens up those areas back there and will really allow you to maximize the space. Especially for surfing. You still will need to piggy back the center though. The easiest solution is the piggyback. It's the simplest to install, The best solution is yank the tanks and add full bags. It also gives you way more storage back there when bags are empty. I can't comment on the actual method to remove the tanks, but if it's anything like my 210 it's a twist and pop up at the same time to get them out of the engine compartment
While not a prime surf boat the SV 211 is still capable.h Don't sweat it -
Thanks for the input. Looks like I'll be pulling the hard tanks out and going with the full bags. Here's to hoping it goes smoothly.

I pulled my tanks on a 2007 sv211 and if you buy the swell wake surf fin it generates a great wave. Two words of caution. I take in water when I surf with the swell between the upper and lower hull seam and the bags can expand into the engine compartment. You’ll need to rig up something to keep the bags in place and seal the seam.Comment

I made a post months ago about sealing my hull and deck seam on my 211. How did you accomplish that on yours?
