    Default MAX Ballast ?

    I have an 18 MAX with the G6 ballast. The WakeMAKERS upgrade is 1K $$ is there a way to buy a smaller bag and plumb and stack it on top of the factory bag? Is it acceptable to do that?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Default MAX Ballast ?

    If you put a ballast bag on top of another bag, it will push the water out of the bag underneath due to its weight, unless you use the overflow of the bottom bag to feed the upper bag.

    But this solution is ghetto and could cause the upper bag to roll off and crash the engine diver panels and seriously fuck up your engine.

    Do it right. You spent $80+k on a boat, don’t skimp out on $1k and cost yourself another $5k in repairing damage.

    What does one need to buy for the max? I read ENZO bags, but how sure how they would fit from looking at the Max I saw?

    I think guys were drilling a hole through the divider to connect to a bag under the side seats.

    Ahhh....I thought there were rumors that 2019s were coming with pass-through holes stock. Maybe not unfortunately.

    I can’t figure out why the 2018 exact fit bags are $999.99 and the 2019 exact fit bags are $1,499.99. Both show to be 1800 lbs...

    I noticed the same thing. Another thing i didnt get was why the rear bags in that kit are same as stock 1k. Theres a guy on this forum who put the 1280s rear and plumbed 800s midship. There are some posts on here that talk about his install
