take a bag out and measure it the length. The 750 is 8"s longer than the 400 and 4" wider and taller. You have to straighten it out and measure it as if it was inflated... or inflate with air.

real quick way to tell is this, the 400's fit in the locker and fill completely. the 750's get impinged on by the carpeted hose and wire/LED cover in the locker. by at least 6 inches.

okay, I went back an saw your picture again. You have 750's for sure, no way those are 400's. You will definitely need 400 lbs or so up in the bow now, especially if running that wedge. if you do that, the wake will be banging

you can get quite a bit in there, just have to hold your tongue the right way

I was bored today and decided to fill up the front bag on top of the seat just to see what it would look like, here ya go,
supposed to be 950 Lbs when full, it took forever to fill up.



How heavy is it supposed to get when it's under the deck? I thought that was around a 750 lbs sac. Didn't realize it was 950, that's pretty big.


Also, does anyone have trouble with water puddling under that forward most cushion and logging that cushion? My nephew sac'd out my boat this weekend and water spilled from the additional 750 he put on top of the cushions and water logged most of those cushions. I had to pull them out and let them drip when I got home...

One of the first videos released by axis had Adam talking about the ballast and he said under the seat it would hold a 475lb sack, fly high advertises it as a 950 fully expanded. I don't see 950 going under the seat, 475 sounds a little more realistic.

He talks about it @ the 2:25 mark, but 9 people in the boat...that is a load.

It's good to hear that the 750's will fit in an A20. I'm about to get 750's for the rear, but how much weight should I put in the front? Oh, and I like to wakesurf a lot too, if that makes a difference.
