    Automatic ballast systems for older Sportys?

    I've seen threads on here of folks who have installed fully automatic ballast systems on mid-90s Super Sports before (although I'm having trouble finding those threads now), but I was wondering if anybody has any experience or ideas with putting something more permanent and convenient in regular mid-90s Sports than fat sacs and dead weight. Clearly this is easy to do in Super Sports by using the storages beside the motor, but I'm trying to put lots of weight far back and still save some space. I was kicking around the possibility of some type of hard tank that could replace the back seat, and then maybe just a sac that could be hooked up to fill in the ski locker. Any ideas?

    I have a 95 DD Sport and use a tube sac in the ski locker and a couple of larger bags on each side of the engine if it is just a couple of riders. I run a different setup If there are more than three in the boat (for more useable real estate) i use the ski locker tube sac and put another tube sac between the motor box and in front of the rear seat. I also have a few sand bags placed in the nose and under the gunnels in the rear next to the gas tank. I toyed around with a hard tank but i don't really think it is space and cost effective.

    I hope this helps.
