LSV 2008 Front ballast Upgrade
After the big ballast upgrade I did a couple years ago - posted here , I decide to add ballast under the front seat & right seat (behind the driver seat).
The extra ballast in the front allows for a cleaner wakeboard wake. I used external ballast bag for a while (the Ronix 8.3, which is great, but I'm tired getting wet, especially in Winder) so I decided to add a new pump, and while I'm at this did a system with a Y valves to also fill a bag under the right seat/bench (for goofy surfers).

here's the results, all ballast full
Took a photo of the wake with & without the side bags.
It's hard to tell from the pic, but with the extra side bags the wake is significantly bigger, and with the wake plate you can easily adjust how steep you want the ramp
(bags are 400, but they don't fill 100%, specially the one behind driver seat, so i think they are at about 300lbs each)
