      I have 750s in my 2013 210. I put them in because that is what I had sitting at the store. I find that they just drain through the over flow vents so they probably only fill to about 300 lbs. I thought of putting a valve in the over flow line does anyone have any other ideas?

        I have a 14' 230 - would you mind posting a link to the bags you bought? The 750's....they direct connect?

          I am using straight line sumo sacs. You just have to add your fittings. Fly high uses different fittings than the straight line ones. Just call wakemakers I am sure they will set you up.

            I think i have the same "question" can u directly convert from the 400 to the 750 without adding additional lines or vents....like is it just a "plug-n-play" upgrade?

              I have a 2013 210, so I had to add mine after,I used flow rite connections. I Imagine that it would of used the flow rite connections. Did you go in your boat and look? If it is flow rite connections, then you just take them off, order new bags and new flow rite male connections (fly high has a different tread from Straight line) depending on the bag you bought. Screw them in with glue to your new bags and hook them back up.

              I find it is nice to have a second set of bags anyway. If i go to a lake that has zebra mussels or milfoil , then I can let my boat dry out for a couple of weeks and wash it out with 150 deg water and put back in the other bags.

                You don't need to run any new lines. Like others have said, call wakemakers. Theres a guy named Jason that works there that is very familiar with 230's. Spencer is too. I just ordered 55"X16"X26" custom sacks for mine. About 830 lbs on each side. Still waiting for a quote on a custom front sack from them...

                    Same here. I just like the durability of the Sumo Sacs ... Just needed to mess with existing hose lengths to make them perfect. I even glued some tie downs from an old water toy to hold them in place.

                      I was wondering if tie downs like the stock ones would be worth it. What kind of glue did you use?

                        Is there a custom bag size we can order that will still be around 750b per side and keep the trays? I really like having the trays for life jackets, etc.

                        Or is there a tray out there that fits with the stock 750's?

                          Most people seem to be using the 50x20x20 bags...i believe i saw on wakemakers you can buy a 50x15hx25w which will drop the top by 5" but not sure how that width will do in the space....if anyone has used this bag size let us know cause sounds like SEVERAL people are looking to get as big as possible while still keeping trays! (Myself included)
