    ballast help

    1984 2001

    got launch pad 540# recliners

    took it for a test run tonight .. the water was not the best but i also had a full boat... 6 people.. total weight with sacs and people approx 1800lbs

    my question is are the sacs next to the engine enough.. and then move people around for balance

    i have approx 75lbs in the bow with stereo and two batteries another 75lbs so 150 in dead weight in the nose..

    the sacs 1000lbs at engine

    OR... my other thought was

    i have a 50/50 seat in the rear.. was thinking of removing one seat.. putting those sacs in the rear corners and leaving the one seat for seating

    what would be better..

    and i know that i do not want that many people in the boat with those sacs way to much room taken up.. just one of those days were everyone came out of the woodwork..

    just some other thoughts...i would normally have 3... driver and observer and then the rider if i put both the driver and observer in the front seats thats another 350-450 or so in the front...depending on who is riding
Working...
