    Forgot to empty ballasts

    Hey guys - trying to figure out how I should prioritize this. I have a 2006 SAN with factory ballasts. I removed it from the lake and towed it 1 mile to it's dry dock spot but failed to empty the ballasts and did not remember this until I got home. It's a 2 hour drive back and I will be going back sometime this fall - but is this causing too much strain on the boat (or trailer)? Should I plan to go back this week or is this no big deal?

    Thanks!

    Probably not that big of a deal unless you are concerned with them leaking/emptying and the mess that might create !

        Should be fine weight wise. I had 400lbs of lead in the nose of my boat at all times. Factory ballast is only 800lb total.
