2013 LSV Extra Ballast

[Davpmars]

Hey Guys,

The other day I was out on the boat with some rather large people. It was the first time with so much people weight in the boat and my surf wave was absolutely huge. One guy at about 350 lbs made a huge difference.

Now, I'm thinking about adding ballast to my boat. I have only stock ballast right now. I'm not sure what each ballast weighs but I believe it's 1800# combined through the 3 bags tanks.

Is there a way to add ballast while keeping everything contained in those rear lockers?

Tons of info on this forum. Do a search and you will have way more info than you probably want.

I already searched for "Ballast" and "extra ballast" and nothing with what I was looking for popped up. You have any search suggestions?

Put 900's or 1100's in the back and 260's under the side seats, make sure you have an IBS in the front connected to the hard tank, and if you want more, use lead or steel bags.

I want everything to stay in those rear lockers so I can still keep all of my storage. Do the 900# sacks stay in those lockers? How about the 1100# sacks? Can they hook up to the stock pumps?

Really, there's no point in upgrading the rear bags if you don't add the bow sac and/or lead up there. If you're not willing to give up storage, start with a suck-gate first to improve the wave.

LSV needs front weight to surf right. If you want to keep it afloat and tolerable with gas while not surfing, you need to give up the front storage space for an IBS. You can put stuff up there when not surfing, but while surfing, it will fill the front area with an additional 700ish pounds. Then get the 1100's and give it a whirl. And def get a suck gate. Makes a world of difference.
