Why aren't there any ballast gauges???

Seems like it wouldn't have been tough to put some analog gauges in so you know how full they are. Fricken annoying.

It wouldn't really matter man. Your gauges would always show full because you pretty much have to fill all stock ballast all the way for anything you want to do.... So you wouldn't see the level of your PNP bags anyways. Just wait for it to come out the vents and drains on the sides and shut them down.

It is also a cost savings factor to stay below the price of Malibu.

Yep.

As well as the closest competitors.

Ya guages are pointless. I'm not even sure my boat works if the ballast isn't all the way full!! haha

Even on the Malibu boats I just wait for the overflow sound. The dash only reads the tank levels and I have never been in a Malibu that did not have extra bags on the hard tanks. I think some companies use a timer to check both bags but that can get off also. The sound of overflow to me is the only way I know for sure its time to ride..

Other companies like Mastercraft use a timer so its not an actual reading. You could mount a start/stop timer somewhere and divide by your time to fill all the way up. That's about all your getting from other companies.
