    Fat sac configuration for 2003 SN 206

    I have recently purchased a 2003 SN206. I am looking for advice on the best fat sacs to purchase for wake/knee boarding. I am looking to put one in the rear ski locker and one under the center floor area extending into the bow area. I prefer to keep these hidden while full, but I am open to other options if it will provide a great wake for wake and kneeboarders.
    Thanks

    I think factory ballast end up at about 60% rear, and 40%% forward, but that is on v drives so maybe it needs to be adjusted for DD?

    Anyways, if you want everything concealed, I would take the measurements of the available compartments then study the fat sac web site to see what fits and try to get the 60/40 split. Note that the weight estimates imply swell factor, (in my opinion), in which the neat line dimensions of the bag are no longer straight, but get puffed out. If you calculated the cubic inch or cubic foot volume, then converted to weight per cubic foot of water (62.4 lbs per cu ft as I recall) you might note some differences between the weight stated on the web site and that which can be calculated. This is applicable to you since you'll be placing the bags into rigid compartments, and not laying on deck where the bags will be allowed to swell up.

      In my 206 I have the factory installed ballast tanks - about 400 lbs. Like you, I wanted to conceal some additional weight in the floor compartment in the walk through. I have a fly high seat sac that I put in there and was unhappy with the wake. I moved it to the rear in front of the rear seat and the wake was much better. The rear compartment in a 206 is so small that you can't get enough water ballast in there to allow you to add more in front of the motor box. I'd recommend putting all your ballast as far to the rear as possible unless your putting in a crazy amount of weight then maybe you could move some forward. I'm running about 950 lbs all in the rear.
