OK, thanks for the advice!
I took the advice given by suke and ordered a new OEM ballast bag from Partzilla. Considering how it is tucked away deep under the seat, i didnt want to risk a leak. Although the patch that is currently on there didnt leak when i filled it during this last season. It was only $178 with tax and shipping, which isn't to bad. I am going to keep the old one and try a new patch but keep it as an extra to place either on the deck or in the ski locker for extra weight. Also going to buy a sumo pump (or equivalent) to fill/drain it. I had planned on buying extra ballast bags and a pump for next season anyway. So if it works, great! If not, still worth a try. I found a bunch of pvc patch kits online. Now just gotta decide on one will work the best for this application.
