    Default WakeMAKERS upgrade 18 max

    Who has it? Is it worth it? Or keep stock and add 720’s midship ?

    Don't have the Max (yet) or the upgrade. FWIW - I was told by my dealer stock bags (1000lbs each) have the forward ports in them, so I will start with my existing 910s from my LSV and see if they will fit in midship compartments. I suspect they will be tight.

    Not sure if those 910’s from your LSV will fit. Might not be able to fill them all the way. I think the 720/750 lb fat sac bags fill up those areas. If your 910 lb bag is the same width and length but just taller than maybe they will fit. Let us know how it goes! Like you I’m in the waiting game for my Max. When do you take delivery? Maybe I’ll see your boat on my tour in late April.

    I suspect that you are correct, but Tryin's free. Correct me If I am wrong, but the WM upgrade bags for the rear are 1200lbs each? or are they 1000?
    At any rate, Big Mama may benefit from a little more junk in the trunk which would force the WM bag upgrade regardless (if they are in fact 1200lb bags.)

    On their website they’re 1,800 lb bags for the Max. Geez I thought they were smaller. That’s a lot of junk in the trunk and I bet makes a monster wave!

    From what they told me when i called its 1800lbs per side.
    1k rear and 800 midship. I believe the benefit would be the exact
    Fit bags are shaped to the hull since the floor isnt flat.

    If that’s the case I’m not sure it’s worth it vs just buying some $160 750 lb bags and tying those into the stock 1,000 lb rear bags. When I was on their site it just mentioned a rear bag upgrade but perhaps it’s also midship. Either way that’s a lot of money just for a formed bag. I don’t think any of the guys running standard fat sac bags midship have any issues with the bags form to the storage compartment shape. Maybe those guys will chime in.

    I just got off the phone with WM. 2018 Max and older the upgraded bags are 1000lbs. For the 2019 Max, the rear bag is 1200lbs and the Midship bags are 540. You can go bigger in midships, however this was designed in concert with SC and it was determined the 540's would work better. (probably with the flows system and pumps.)

    NOTE: WM informed me the stock 1000lb is probably not accurate as they have found them to weigh less.

    I thought the same and called to verify. I have the front ports on my stock rear bags and was thinking about getting the wakemakers kit because it included all the necessary fittings and hoses. Then murder max posted the parts list and midship install thay connects to the stock rear bags......

    Yea and I believe it’s a bit easier for us 2019 guys because the ports on the stock bags are at the front instead of the center on the 2018’s. I also don’t think we have to drill holes in the storage for the 2019’s. I’m going to follow what the Murder Max did more or less and go from there. I have an existing 750 lb fat sac laying around and just need to buy another for $160 plus the fittings I’ll need. Eventually I’ll order some lead for the bow.
