New mojo ballast upgrades

Duplicate post

The factory has to balance weight of ballast and weight of people and gear. Factory could have made it stock with 5k ballast but then they would have to reduce the seating capacity to 12 people or 1500lbs. It's a no win for everyone.

yeah, i get that, im just curious how they determine how much the boat can sink.... there are plenty running over the sticker max weight with no issue.

I am sure it has something to do with an NMMA Standard seeing as these boats are NMMA Certified

I’d really like to know exactly how much weight these upgrades add. From the FaceBook group, it had been posted that that add 920 lbs…. I suppose if they are a foot taller this is possible since the lockers are so huge.

yeah, just saw the pictures in the FB group, it definitely fills the locker, so it is more water for sure. But it makes me think someone is not accurate about numbers, either WM is understating the bag, or SC is overrating the factory ballast numbers. Even if the center bag was 1500, the rears would be 1250 each....

since it looks like the WM bag is just taller, they should have saved money and just put a piggyback on top.

Wow, I was waiting on this but glad I didnt, I bought 2 575lb bags for the midship seats and a pump for about $500. In my boat I needed more bow weight anyways. So midship bags made more sense for me. I also put a 750lb bag in the bow and 100lbs of lead under the drivers seat.

I heard they are making a full kit for the mojo with a front bag as well but it took some "modifying" hate to see the price on it

Does anyone have a link to the video? (not on FB). I'm curious how much they filled the rear compartment.

When I got the WM upgraded bags for my 2020 helix WM told me they didn’t think the oem bags were really 1000lbs as SC says… [emoji2371]
