Just wondering the reason behind the inability to use the rear ski locker for ballast. I see the sticker under the hatch clearly stating that the area is not for ballast and I've never seen anyone set it up that way.

Is my assumption correct that the rear locker fiberglass cannot support the weight of ballast? Is that why everyone uses the small space under the rear seat?

Thanks for any insight into this. I'm in the early planning stages of designing an integrated ballast but I want to keep it completely hidden.

Thanks -
Jeff
