Buy 500lbs of lead and distribute it near the rear of the boat.
Does it matter lead vs water ballast, or just a preference thing?
I like lead because it's like having a few extra people in your boat always. And the bags are small enough that you can hide them in spots and they don't take up a lot of room. The bad about lead is the cost and that you ALWAYS have that extra weight in the boat.
Thanks, just purchased 500lbs of lead. Hope to be able to let go of the rope!
Nice! Make sure to tip your USPS driver (or help them unload!)
