group buy on ballast

I would probably buy a couple of bags . . . it sounds like everyone likes flyhigh but the sumo sacks seem to come in dimensions that would work better under my rear bench seat in my 01 LS

I have emailed a couple companies and am waiting to hear back from them. As soon as I do I will post the info I recieve.

I still have not heard back from any companies yet. Hopefully wakemaker can come thru for us. I know a lot of these companies are on the westcoast so they are probably just opening.

I'm in for a couple 750's

Still have not heard back from any of the companies. You would think they would want the business but I guess not.I will give it another day or 2 before I just pay up and buy locally.

boardersmall.com sent me a generic email that just says thanks for checking out our site and yada yada. It was not a personal response and had nothing to do with my question about the group buy. I guess they are out of the running. I also read some bad info on another forum about one of the companies I emailed and will not mention the name yet. Maybe they will respond and try to help out.

Didn't the guy from wakemakers indicate on this thread he would work with us? I need a pump too.

He did. Im sure he is busy. Not everyone checks the board as much as some of us do.

Jason from wakemakers has really stepped up with what I consider a great deal. No one else I have seen can match this. As soon as I speak to him via phone I will post it up.

That's what I meant - the guy (jason) from wakemakers had already responded that he would work with us so give him some time before we give up.

I'd love to get his advice on what exactly I need. I'd like two bags and a pump. I'm going from no ballast at all and never done it or been in a boat that had it. My problem is that I have an '01 Outback LS and the stock system used a hardtank under the rear bench seat, which is where I'd like to start with the ballast, although I might also get one for the ski locker. While I don't have the exact measurements, and won't until this weekend, I think that rear bench seat space is only about 8 inches or so high by about 10 or so inches wide and nearly the length of the beam - probably close to 90 inches. I don't see any bags that fit that kind of space. I assume that the fly high 10 by 16 by 62 bag would be okay - and that it would work fine if I just don't fully inflate it, but I don't know. The new sumo sacs come in some better sizes, including an 8 by 16 by 60, an 8 by 16 by 45 and an 8 by 16 by 25. I might be able to get two bags in there together at that size. I guess I just need to talk to someone knowledgeable.

Jason feel free to PM me if you can work with me or if you have any ideas for my situation.
