One more ballast thread

[KG's Supra24]

I guess when it came down to it I was just curious how much that extra 500lb could actually do in bow weight or rear weight.

For your interest, I'd add bow weight, then rear weight. if doing at seperate times.

By those board sizes I'm guessing you're a bigger guy. I think the bow weight will give you plenty of boost to get the height and distance you need to be clearing the wake.

Joe, jmvotto, makes a solid point about the 750s.

Agreed, def see more used sets for sale on the 750s so I may get lucky and find a good deal in a pair.

As for me I'm 6ft, 215-220. I would consider myself an intermediate rider, just looking for anything I can to get that extra boost of air.

Deal on 750s

I saw that last night and was going to email the guy and buy them but the site won't let me register. I have tried 4 times and I never receive the initial activation email. I emailed the site moderators to try and fix it. If someone has an account there will you pm the guy selling them and say you know someone who wants them and see if he will give you his email or phone #?

Thanks!!!!

I ran my XLV with the front 650, and then upgraded it to the 1180 and couldn't be happier. Honestly, with ONLY the 1180, the wakeboard wake is a ton of fun.




I'm a slingshot rider myself. I have the Oli with Rad's. It helps that Slingshot is pretty local to us (probably about 90 minutes from home), so they have a strong presence here.

So did you grab those from the guy on ww? I posted over there for ya but it looked like someone else was also trying to get them.

Another thought regarding the ballast system questions. it's going to be painfully slow to fill/empty your bags with your existing system.

there isn't a ton you can do short of gutting your system and replacing everything. however, Kaneboats has done some stuff that's gotten his a lot better without completely scrapping his system.

He put in a TEE off the thru hull and added a 2nd RULE pump for filling and routed that directly to one of the sprinkler valves. There are also high flow irritrol valves that you could put in, but they are a little spendy for what they are. I believe you should be able to replace the factory 700 drain pumps with something faster. none of it is going to be as fast as it *could* be with the factory 3/4" lines, but you can most certainly get a big boost in performance.

Lastly, with the stock ballast systems you're only using 2 of your 3 ports on each bag, so you could totally get an over the side tsunami pump and supplement the factory ballast with that for filling and emptying.

IIRC, when I went to the bigger 1180 before I changed my ballast pump/line system, I was looking at 20 minutes to fill or empty. I couldn't handle that, so a major upgrade was in order.
