My ballast package arrived!

[Cigars n scotch]

Man, that was awesome service by Wakemakers! Ordered on Tuesday around 1pm and my package arrived today at around 11:30am. Took advantage of that Free 2-Day Shipping promotion.

What'd I get?

(2)Supra BagBuster Kits includes:
(2) 750# Fly High sacs for my rear lockers
(1) 1,100 # Fly High sac for my bow locker
(2) extension hoses

(3) Supra Vent Upgrade Kits + all fittings

I am pretty excited to test this all out. Have to call WM just to check again on installing the vent kit to each bag, just have questions on "where" to locate the vents by cutting the stock system hose near the thru-hull. I'm a visual guy and reading the instructions has left me with a couple questions.

Got all the bags in though on my lunch break!

Good stuff right there - excited for you!

Same here ordered at 5p on Tuesday went from West coast to east coast in two days but missed the delivery truck. Headed to FEDEX to pick it up now and will be using it tomorrow.

Is the bow sac the 1100 or the 1180? Do you have the playpen locker?

[Cigars n scotch]

Is the bow sac the 1100 or the 1180? Do you have the playpen locker? I do have the playpen locker. Packing slip says 1,100lbs kit.

Are you asking because of fitment issues there to get the full 1,100 lbs which is the W719 Model bag? I wondered this.

[KG's Supra24]

Fitment is what I was getting at, yes. The factory play pen bag is 1180 lbs.

Factory playpen bag (w842): 88x19x19
1100 V drive bag (w719): 50x24x24

Wakemaker's knows that, though. Seems odd they would pair a "jumbo v drive sac" to a shallow bow area? I run the w719 in my rear lockers and its not even close to the same shape as my playpen bag.

W719 is too big for the 21v lockers, though. If it's anything like the 05 21v, the 750 is just right back there.

[Cigars n scotch]

Yeah that's what I figured. But my factory playpen bag is only 650lbs and dimensions I don't know but it's longer than the stock 400s by a considerable amount.

I don't think that it will fill up entirely because of width but should be pretty close, I'll have to see this weekend.

I would agree that Fly High should have a sac made that would fit better in a playpen locker but not be as long as the stock bags. You have a 24ssv right? How wide is your playpen?

[Cigars n scotch]

KG, that bag you referenced is the Gravity Games playpen bag and is like $330. Just spoke with Jason and he confirmed I probably won't get full capacity but I am ok with that as I can still use one of my leftover 400's to put in the bow because we generally don't use it.

In to tackle my project now!

[bergermaister]

That does seem kind of odd. My basement/playpen fits a 750 (50x20x20) almost perfectly and ends right at the start of the bow seating. I just picked up a W842 to replace it but don't think it will get completely full up in the nose. Yet to be seen.

No way an 1100 surf sack in there would get a good fill on it...

Hmmmm?

Berg it should work the w842 or 1180 is what I have in the xlv and it gets almost 100%

Can't see the 1100 jumbo surf sac in the center locker though, it might really press on the side walls.

[Cigars n scotch]

Ok now you guys are making me question this, damn it!

Any ideas how to slide these hoses onto the vent t barb fittings? I am having a hell of a time.

Going to hold off on the 1100 vdrive sac now that all off this is coming up.

[jmvotto]

Fill it in the playpen and rear locker with air from a shop vac to see if it fits the way you want it . If it doesn't fit return it, no harm done, and go another route.

[Cigars n scotch]

Well I think you guys are all right and I made a purchase mistake. I blew up the 1100lb sac with a shop vac like JV said and WOW this thing is big! Wide too! It's not going to fit.

Can one of you that has the gravity games sac take a couple of pics from your playpen so I can see it?

Use your woman's hair dryer (or, ideally, a heat gun, if you have one) and heat up the end of the hose a ton. I use gloves when I do it so that I can grip the hose while it's hot and force it on. Way worth the effort- it makes life sooooo much easier.

CNS. This is the 1180 filled in the xlv pic is under the middle bow seat.

Thanks, wish I would have seen this earlier or posted BEFORE I worked my ass off and used a ton of physical strength to get them on. It was a pita but I got the rear bags done. I'll use the hair dryer trick for the front.

Thanks!

JV thanks, your bow locker is different than mine, I was kind of looking for a pic with the playpen but that gives me some idea. In your bow walkway can you walk right up to that bow cushion?

[KG's Supra24]

The 1100 isn't the right fit for the playpen. I'm surprised it was recommended.

I'll try to remember to take a picture of mine in the next day or two. It fills up the locker .... 24ssv

I don't understand why the 1180 sack is so expensive.

No walkway in the XLV.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/23/8ytege2e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/23/dutygume.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/23/yhasuqas.jpg

[Cigars n scotch]

Ah I see now. I was confused with JV's pic. My bow cushion when you pull it up just has a different frame around it which threw me off.

Yeah Kg I can't understand why in the hell it's $330 either, maybe because more material due to 88" long I don't know. Seems dumb though.

Back to the drawing board. Thanks for all of your guys' help!

No the playpen cushion is not in the pic just the bow center cushion, there is another 80 inches of bag going back toward the stern.

C&S - That $330 tag is what I couldn't get over. A 750 in there does a nice job for less than half the coin and you get to keep your space under the playpen. I was happy with that but added a 400 in front of it filled by hand for surfing heavier when we were light on people.

If you're not picky about color I will probably have a light gray 750 going up for sale here some time soon... Would include 3/4" W736 fittings (at least 2) as well.

Tempting berg! I am certainly not picky with color, it's all hidden! Keep me posted.
