I just finished my ballast upgrade pretty happy with the results... first pic is no ballast... second is port/starboard... last is port/starboard/center locker

Now to just try it on the surf board!
 
They are all fly high bags. I have a 400# bag under starboard seat. There is a 1180# bag under the port seat and a 750# bag in the center locker. For now I am running it all off the stock 212x pump with manual ball valves which is a huge PIA... that's def then next mod to put the bags on their own pump. I'll prob also vent it so I don't have to watch it so close when filling... ran out of time and $$ this year. Something to look forward to next year!! I do have a wake wedge I'll try this weekend with the ballast
 
Post some details. Cam
