Got lucky to get some prototype rear bags for the Makai from WM.

The are basically the WM rear bags + an extension (all one piece) to go under the bench seat (halfway). Some rough math = ~600lb addition over the standard WM bags. Only downside was I had to move my tube to the front of the boat for storage.

Install was super easy. I'm considering running an extra vent off the top like many of you have done, but wanted to get an initial test before hand. I'm sure I'm still dealing with some air etc.

Bags full ( seemed a few inches lower than before).

Obligatory wave picture. Windy day. Small crew. Bags Full. No autowake, just 100/100/100 fill and tab 70%. Riding the wave: the push is improved and I've moved the speed from 10.4 with the old WM bags to 11.1 with these. I can ride a few feet farther back now. Still need to dial in the settings more.
