tsunami pump is not a necessity. it does take about 10-15 minutes for the 750's to fill - crack a beer, relax, or make sure all you gear is working. i also use that time to stretch out and warm up my muscles, as my body hurts bad the next day if i don't.

why would i wanna carry my 400's and swap them out if i have 2 750's in place of them?

I am going to swap out to 750's on both for that reason..
in my boat, also gives me more dedicated storage as the 400's run up under the seats where the 750's don't. no longer have to remember to move stuff out when filling the 400..

are the 750's the same on an lsv as a supra? does it just fill higher in the locker and not as long ?
i was wondering what to do with the various life jackets and ropes i have if i go bigger bags and lose the storage in the lockers. seems like under the seats is where guest put their towels and food and beverages

if your 750's are filling uneven & you want the weight perfectly balanced, and/or you decide that you don't want to eyeball 400 lbs

ok got ya. do your switch yours out?
i was thinking if they fill uneven just fill em all the way up for surfing first then drain em out to what i like for wake boarding. i'm sure the drain would be more uniform then the fill or am i wrong?
