Here are a couple pics of the wake from last night. I am 6'2 and i had just landed a back roll in the last pic. It is a great wake and the fuel consumption has decreased since i'm not dragging the wedge around.

So, I was thinking of getting those exact same sacs, and measured the v-drive wells. I got 46" long, and noticed some screw ends pointing in from the front of the compartments. Did you see these? Did you just cut them off, or do the sacs not press that far forward?
Did you notice in the owners manual that it specifically states that these areas are NOT for extra ballast, but the boat comes plumbed and ready for ballast to be put there? I thought that was kind of funny. I guess it's a liability thing though.
This is on my Christmas list for myself. That's a sick wake, and I can't wait until spring.

I havent seen anything that would damage the sacks. I would cut them off though before installing them if you do. The wake is sick . If you install these sacks you will have to put another sack in the front. I have a 400# that i had in the rear that fits perfect. I lay it as far forward as i can get.I have the most agressive prop available as well and is a must have for this kind of weight.Im sure you could take off with the 13.5x 14.25 but im sure it would take a while.I agree with Walter. We ride into November and Live in Kentucky. I have a variety of wetsuits as well as a couple dry suites.I love riding no matter what. I had back surgery 6 months ago and have been back doing inverts for a couple months now, guess i may be a nut or something ! lol

you'll have to talk to seeyabye, he owns that boat now. I don't think dbragg has been on the site in almost a year.
