Yep. They are in the shelving section of home depot. Look for the shorter black bars. I had to cut mine down a little to get it to fit the way I installed it. I repainted the cut end to prevent corrosion.

I would have found your thread but it was easier to post pictures myself.

Question for you guys who have used all sizes of ballast. I'm trying to decide between the 750's or 1100's. I'm an intermediate wakeboarder and new to the wake surfing. I want a huge surf wave but also want a good wake where it's not to big for my experience level. Which one should I get?

First off I'm assuming you have the 330hp motor, but if you have more power the answer could differ. The guys that want a really big wave go with the 1100s or the sumo 900s. But for wakeboarding, you probably won't be able to plane with that much weight all the way in the back. 750s are enough to give you a really big wakeboard wake, but you can always get the bigger bags for surfing and not fill all the way.

You assumed right. I only have the 330 and a 1235 prop. With buying either the 750's or 1100's, I'm also getting the triangle bow sac to put on top of the seats.

Dezul, how is the reinforcement holding up? I just picked up the 1100's and need to do this. Would you do anything different now that you have used it for a few months?
