First trip out in the 05 XLV...mixed success
So I figure I'll make use for the new forum for this since it is mostly surfing related...
I finally got to take out the XLV that I bought in December. I'm in central IL s, so it's not exactly summer. Yesterday was in the low 60s. Fortunately the lake is heated by a nuke plant, so we didn't even need wetsuits. Boat ran great and I got up on the board first try.
Anyway, I couldn't get much slack in the rope. We had the port and front tanks full, and the starboard mostly full. There were only 2 people in the boat, so that didn't help. I think I will upgrade the rear tanks-are these the correct ones?

Obviously I would love to have them just plug right in. Is there any easy way that I could keep the old bags as well? I guess some kind of T or Y hose from one of the bags, and then having the old bags on the floor in the rear?
Any other tips? I could get a bit of slack if I cut up onto the wake and back down.
