Sorry, let me pick myself back off the floor... That was funny.
The classic would work fine for you. Have them add an extra layer of glass and you will be fine. It will float you way better than the...

Robert J, not sure that one is going to fly. Yea, that board is still for sale. Why don't you just bite the bullet and get a react board?

Great to hear!! 5 minutes... thats awesome! I wonder how the dual pump to one manifold will work. Theoretically it sould be 5 minutes to fill the whole system (for surfing). That would be ballin yo!...

Cool let me know how it works.
I keep watching the forcast for my area and the longterm is rain and more rain.
One of these days we will get out.

3/4 should be good for up to 30gpm with a very short run. Like what I have. There is less resistance with the 1 inch, is all I can think of that would cause the 1 to leak by.
My original thought on...

If it ever gets over 50 and half way sunny I'd do it. I'm up to go out anytime but its hard to get others to go out when its poopy outside.
Trust me I am as antsy as anyone to see how this works.

If you guys remember on the "I have the answer" thread I found flow to be 650gph ish with the pump w/o the solenoids. Hopefully with the second pump things will flow a little better. We'lz see!

Yea its a tandem. I'm going to find out for sure what size pumps these are and I'll let you know.

If you are referring to the second pump I added to my system then I'm not sure. Its a factory SC fill pump. I believe they are 750gph.

Sounds like you've got it. You may have problems getting that...

It looks like a reducer but it is all one piece. Just unplug the pump and pull the hose off. Then spin the valve and 90 off the thru-hull. The fitting is set up so if you need a 1 inch thru-hull, you...

Ian I tried the what you are talking about and the water doesn't flow back so easy, that is why I did the extra empty pump.

Jester those are the factory 3/4" solenoids. Tell you the truth about...

Just another bottleneck in the system. There wasn't so much as a grain of sand in it after a year, so I deceided to get rid of it. The only place debris will hang up is in the solenoid and they are...

Ian, to answer some q's
I'm actually the one that found the spring fix on the solenoids so yes the springs are removed.

I did not change the diameter of the pump discharge hose. The clear just...

600lb big air (cheapy) I used to fill it in the walk through but it will be nice having it out of site. Eventually I'll get an Integrated bow sac but until then this will get me at least 350lbs in...

And lastly I've used one of the unused drain ports on the front ballast bag and made a new overflow that feeds my integrated bow sack (ok not really ibs, but it will work for now).
...

So I've completed my ballast with some of the ideas I've talked about on other threads. First I've upgraded by adding an additional Rule Fill Pump.
