Custom SwimDeck Ballast Bag project

[Scuba_ref]

What is the step measurement? I can't read it on my phone.

 

[Scottie]

If you're facing the swim deck from behind the boat, the proposed bag is 24" total width by 44" total depth. The lower swim deck portion is 9" high, 21" deep, and 24" wide. Total height of the bag is 32", which would put the top of the bag roughly 23" above the upper swim deck.

Yes handles, I want something to run my ropes or ratchet straps through to help hold down the bag.

For me I don't want more then 800 pounds on my transom, this bag also allows for easy passage thru, any wider would be in the way.

As long as that's enough - to eliminate the need for bag(s) on top of the seats in the cockpit! (on top of integrated ballast of course)

Awesome, thanks @Scottie

I will still run a 750 on top of my port cabin seat along with this. I think you may have more under seat ballast then me @swatski

Damn it @jcyamaharider you know I just ordered a 800lb bag last week! Lol

Should be delivered with my pump and harness today, actually.

Between this, wheels/tires, bow roller, surf stuff and a dozen other things being discussed recently I feel like a dog chasing a squirrel. Can’t figure out what to focus on or how to prioritize!

In all my excitement over this, I totally forgot my boat is a different shape! But, my other goodies came in today.

Heck yeah Abe!!!

 

[jcyamaharider]

We are getting somewhere!!! Wakemakers figures 870 lbs.

 

[Scottie]

That looks great! I'm in.

 

[renrab]

nice stuff, im in, any idea on price point

 

[jcyamaharider]

Still have few kinks to work out. Price point $350- $400 ish

Looks great hopefully it will fit the 230's too. They should put a drain plug at the bottom by the two hanles to allow you to bump water back into the lake without needing a pump

I have 2 of them down there. They just moved them to the radius. I am having them move them back up higher.

I’m interest in that... any idea if it would fit a 212X my boat is in storage so I can’t measure to compare right now...

Thanks!

I have a pdf that you can download on page 3 with the dimensions on a print.

I'll be measuring mine (2013) on Saturday and I'll let you know. If it fits mine it should fit yours.

 

[nate kennedy]

@Scottie thanks I appreciate that! I have a 15 so they should be awefully close. @jcyamaharider i saw the pdf and measurements unfortunately I can’t get to my boat with the snow we just got... it’s spring right?!!

 

[jcyamaharider]

Just over at Wakemakers looking around and they have a bag that is close without the step.

* edit added a PDF because you cannot see the dimensions. *
