    210 Ballast, V Bag or Locker?

    Trying to decide wether or not I want to go with the fly high locker bag for the front ballast in my 99 210 or the 650# V shaped bag to run under the bow seats.

    Any opinions?

    I'll be running Fly High 750's in the back.

    I played around with my’13 210 and there seemed to be a point of “too much”.

      In my 2017 210 i have 750’s + hard tank in both rear lockers.
      i tried the V shape bow bag but you can only fill it 50% or the cushions pop.
      And it messed up the wave too, its too much. i return it and replace it with 200pounds lead bag.

      210 is Easy to overwheight and messed up the wave completely.
      My perfect additional sac setup is both 750 rear, 200 bow
      and when we are just my gf and me we full our 370 fatsac side underseat on port side. We both ride this side.

        One big difference is I'm running the OG 210 hull, but it sounds like it might be better to go with the larger locker bag and a few lead bags to move around the bow as necessary.

          Dgee, are you asking for wakeboarding or surfing?

          For wakeboarding the locker won't hold enough water/weight to offset the 750's in the rear.

            Really trying to plan out a versatile setup for both surfing and wakeboarding, although I think most of our time will be spent surfing since that's what my wife prefers as well as most of our friends these days.

            At this point I'm thinking 750s in the back, the locker bag and 200# of lead under the nose cushion. But I'm obviously asking for people's opinions who've set their boats up for surfing and been through the trial and error already.

              I wouldn’t recommend the bow sac under the seats. I’ve got one in my 2001 SAN and it does not fill anywhere near full and it’s a pain in the *** to empty. I run I believe a 580 in the center locker and then put lead under the front seat. You can put 500# worth of lead wake under the cushions in the front with ease. I’d be surprised if you could get 300# worth of water in a bag up there.

                That was my thought exactly.
