With a little work and creative thinking, I am sure you could figure out how to plumb that into the rear bags...

Also because the front sack's center of gravity is slightly further back, it really adds a lot of displacement without drastically changing pitch. That allows you to run the front ballast at 100% full all the time.

Add a few passengers and you could easily be hitting the 5000lb total ballast range and with a boat that heavy displacing that much weight, it is hard to screw it up....

Hopefully more people will be doing test drives or buying them soon and you will get their first hand experiences....
I'm asking because I have a 2012 247 lsv right now with 6000# of ballast. Nothing I've ridden comes close. Not even the 18 sa, and I mean not even close. Not dogging the sa. Awesome boat. But wave was short and very soft in my opinion
