Will have about 4660 in water weight and around 750lbs of available lead to move around. Net 5410lbs.

Fairly simple upgrade with a couple of 2” holes in the divider panels between the lockers and the under seat areas that are recessed down to the hull. I also had to reroute the line from one of the Jabsco pumps on each side to accommodate for the narrower placement of the dual fill/drain ports on the rear of the locker bags from WakeMAKERS.

I used a Y connector to connect the vent from the new under seat bag to the existing rear bag vent thru the side of the hull. Hopefully this works out OK. Also adjusted the ballast timers to a best guess time.
So was it necessary to replace the rear bags to accommodate the piggybacking? (i.e. did the stock rear bags not have enough ports to facilitate the connections?)

Also, what bags did you go with for the underseat bags?

Where did you end up putting your lead?
