I agree solid ballast is a bad idea, but I've seen it done believe it or not back in 04 I saw a guy that sealed off the v drive boxes from the engine compartment and poured concrete in... All the front seats were plated with steal he figured about 2500 lbs of weight total
Oh yeah the boat was a 03 malibu wakesetter loaded !!! so probably a 60k boat ruined by a rich daddys boy 20 years old and dumb as the concrete he put in the malibu2007 Outback V

I'm not concerned with solid ballast as I'm not going to have it all in the bow plus 400lbs of bow weight is nothing with 750's in the back. I understand the concern and I don't plan on 4000+lbs of ballast plus people like they use in surf contests.

I think I'll stick with the 750's. Don't want to turn this thing into a submarine. Heck, if we could surf with no rope behind an Outback, shouldn't be an issue with the LSV and 750's!

that second pic is classic...
I third the opinion of solid ballast. water is the only way to go. if you think you need more, add a bag on the seat or floor, but solid ballast kills your gas mileage when not recreating, adds more weight to tow, wear on trailer tires, added tongue weight to the tow rig, and the list goes on..'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten
