Yeah! Thanks! I am running the 400's in the back and whatever the T series has for a bag in front. I want to buy new rear bags and some other form of ballast to the boat but not sure what to get.
Sounds like the 900's in the rear and a portable sumo is the way to go. I do notice that my 400's get kind of pinched under the back seat when full. Wouldn't the malibu 550lb sack be a better fit for these boats than that 900?

750's minimum, 900's even better in the event you go out with a small crew at times. The T22 and A24 (the boat I have) will hold the 900's no problem. I can show you how to modify you rear drain to fit the 900's

T22 weighting..

Factory ballast full
Sumo 900s in the rear
Sumo 650 bow triangle under the seats
400lb bag on top of the bow against the wind dam ( this will soon be lead under the seats.
Wedge down
10.5-11.5 depending on the surfer.

I've posted pictures of this boats wave before but it belongs to Dennis of LiquidTrends. He is working for California Marine Sports and we have had a number of people on this thing and everyone loves it. Chris Wolters says its his favorite wave to date and he goes huge behind it.

AJ, is that rear drain mod in one of the plug and play threads? I am not at all happy with how my bags are installed. The hoses are getting pinched on both sides and the bag is kind of stuck under the seat. I am going to finish out the summer as is for now, but my Christmas list is getting long:) so far I have

The 900 bags for the rear
New quick connect fittings with a T for second vent
I think I would like the sumo 650 triangle for on top of the bow seats or a 900 for the floor
Wet sounds WS-420 EQ
2315 Acme

I hope I'm a good boy the rest of the year. I really want Santa to hook me up:)
