Looking at ballast for the older 2010-14 240. The custom transom bags for 19/21/24 all say for the newer models. Can they still work on the older boats ? Will a 21 bag work on a 24 ?

24ft bag on our 2011 242, works amazing. It's the biggest bag you can buy for that purpose. You can also get a 750 in the ski locker!

Why are you interested in using a 21ft bag ? @jcyamaharider designed them to fit the measurements of the transom so I would suggest just ordering the correct sized bag and a ski locker bag. Are you planning on surfing with only ballast ?

www.wakewedge.surf



24 ft bags 45" L x 24" W x 34 H 800 lbs
2010 to 2021

21 ft bags 35"L x 26"W x 32.5 H 725 lbs
21 ft boats 2006 to current
23 ft boats 2003 to 2009

19 ft bags 35"L x 30"W x 26" H 650 lbs
190 series boats

Checking options in case a used bag ever pops up. We don't plan to surf just wakeboard right now so the bag would probably be centered.

We don't do much wakeboarding and if we do we skip ballast. @J-RAD might be able to say if he uses his transom bag for wakeboarding.

I have a transom bag I can make a deal on for a 24ft if you are interested. We custom ordered a black bag for our new product and forgot to specify black handles. I am OCD on the color so I ordered a replacement. It is a black bag with tan handles PM if you are interested.

He did reply to my thread for wakeboarding ballast suggestions. Thank You

When we wakeboard, we skip the transom bag. The center locker bag works out just fine and the boat performs well too.

How about video with 400lbs. I have it with 750lbs as well, but I needed to edit it a bit as it's set private.

This is faster than most wakeboard at. But you get the idea at around 20. We tube at 23, and wakeboard around 18. There is notable volume difference with the 750 in the locker.
