Moomba Max ballast question.

SWEET! Can't wait to see the rest. The rollers look nasty in your regular surf pic.

We were on Lake Perris in Perris, CA. The boat is home for the winter and then going back to Lake Mead.

I’ve always wondered what part of the country and in what lakes you can truly boat year around without too much of a harsh environment.

Those of us from the Midwest can easily travel to the desert southwest, like the Phoenix area. But I was wondering if a boating life is possible around there as a winter tourist.

We've surfed that lake w/ Jeff from Soulcraft. Stayed tucked up against that rock wall on the southwest side of the lake. It was tough to keep away the lake lice away, but we had a great time!

It’s much better during the off season. So much less traffic.

Will have about 4660 in water weight and around 750lbs of available lead to move around. Net 5410lbs.

Fairly simple upgrade with a couple of 2” holes in the divider panels between the lockers and the under seat areas that are recessed down to the hull. I also had to reroute the line from one of the Jabsco pumps on each side to accommodate for the narrower placement of the dual fill/drain ports on the rear of the locker bags from WakeMAKERS.

I used a Y connector to connect the vent from the new under seat bag to the existing rear bag vent thru the side of the hull. Hopefully this works out OK. Also adjusted the ballast timers to a best guess time.

So was it necessary to replace the rear bags to accommodate the piggybacking? (i.e. did the stock rear bags not have enough ports to facilitate the connections?)

Also, what bags did you go with for the underseat bags?

Where did you end up putting your lead?
