Whats the largest bag people have used in the center locker of the AR230. I have a 370lbs one in there now which leaves a fair bit of storage for skiis but I need more weight up front. I was considering a placing a bag on the floor at the bow but it would make sense to maximize the ski locker bag first. I need to hop in the boat and measure but curious as to what others are using.

I had my 800 in there and it filled all the way up. I have a 400 in there now because with the Wake Wedge the boat loves rear weight. I don't have to worry about being too close to the boat my pocket is long.

I have the same 800lb bag in ski locker. It does fit perfect. We use the center locker bag for a better wake for wakeboarding.

Wakeboarding hurts me but that is good to know. I have quick detach fittings so if I did want to wakeboard I can throw my 800 in there real quick.

Just ordered one from wakemakers. I will use it in the locker and use the 400lb flyhigh that is in there now as an aux bow bag. It should sit nicely under the bow filler cushion (but stick out). This combo will give me 1600lbs built in with 12oo lbs auxilliary (meaning I have to fill them up with an extra pump hose). Excited for the summer. Our water is almost warm enough to avoid hypothermia. Cam.

One thing I just learned ( I may be slow) is that fly-high fittings don't fit the straight line bags. The flyhigh fittings are also not tapered NPT like regular fitting so they won't screw into a threaded reducer. End result was that I had to pay $32 shipping for 2 plastic fittings to fit my new bag . It did arrive in 2 days though. Cam.
