Ballast Bag options

[aapwayneo2001]

We are getting an 09 LSV and it has the GIII system of course I want to upgrade the rear bags I've looked at fly high 1100s but have heard you have to brace the walls but what about straight line 900s http://www.wakemakers.com/launch-pad-sumo-vsurf-sac-900.html they are 2" narrower so that should be just enough to not have to do any extra bracing in the lockers right?

bracing is easy, wm has a brace kit available for like 30 bucks per side if you don't want to do a lowes DIY.

but with 900 too 110 in the rear of an lsv you will need some bow weight so think of and IBS bag as well.

The "boss lady" doesn't like DIY LOL but yeah definitely will be doing IBS, can I plumb the factory rear ballast bags in under the front seats?

I ran 1100 in my LSV and then switched to Sumo 900s, I also run a single Sumo 900 in my Mojo. The 900's are legit and I find them much easier to fold up for end of year storage.

Another nice option is the Sumo 900 is a true 1 inch fitting bag if you upgrade your hoses. Other wise you can use the 1" to 3/4 adapter.

Any pictures of the 900 surf wake?

I have two of the straight line 800 pound bags but not sure if they will fit or not

You should be able to. They may pop the seats if you over fill.

Anyone use 1100's in their Mondo? I know you can't fill them all the way. I'm estimating between 900-1000 lbs. Curious if this has worked out. Also, anyone have the X-link from wakemakers....thoughts?

When I test drove the Mondo, I threw a pair of 750's in the rear, and they fit perfect. Not sure how much more you could fit. Sumo 900's would probably be the max. You will diffinately need an IBS. Skip the X-Link, it will mess up your timers. Plus you should have the FLOW, and side to side filling and emptying are not needed.

I have 750's now and I'm still uncertain about the flow. Every video I see and when I test drove there is a lot of spray coming over and washing out the wave. I have yet to see a solid wave using the flow. I would like to get it for the ease and its much cheaper than having custom sacs made. Anyone have pics of their flow wave?

[jstenger]

Do you have an IBS? The Mondo needs weight up front.

I have been basically "testing" with different wieght around the boat to see what kind of wave I can get before I commit and buy everything. With black Friday coming up I would like to get everything I want/need. So I can only list my boat at this time and I get a very good wave. I have figured out a custom sac to get me 950-1000# but I would prefer to not spend $700 on1 sac. If I can go with a stock 1100# and only fill it a portion...I think I would get at least 950# out of it that's a $500 savings. Then I could go with the flow as well and list when I want or go flow for the ease.

As for the flow, since I do not have it I can only go by word of mouth and what videos I find. So far most videos have the spray and don't want that plus the wave never looks that good. Everyone on the forum seems to love the flow so I'm just trying to get as much info I can to make my decision.
