So I decided I was tired of hearing all these stories about you guys taking 10 minutes to fill up your systems, so I made my manifold out of 4" PVC pipe. I am going to use TWELVE 700GPM Jabsco pumps. If I did all the calculations correctly, I should be able to fill all my fat sacs in under 2 seconds. What do you guys think?

you won't need sacs as the plumbing will weight the boat down enough to throw a surf wake like in the "huge wake" thread :D

WAAAAY cool ,thats flippin awesome, but you'll never need it as the 40 batteries to power the pumps will already give you 2,000 lbs of ballast :)

Ya, its what is in the new Supra 242V , but I think it should be renamed GG V Ballast as signified in 242V

IV just doesn't do it justice
