Do you have an internal sysyem i.e. MLS? If not, look into something internal but it might get too pricy.

I suggest Twin VDrive sacs, 350 lbs. each. Maybe a sack on the floor (anything 500-600 lbs) and 350-450 lbs. in the bow. ((SL Locker/Bow 350 lb. sac (just got one, love it) and 50-100 lbs. of sand buckets/bags)) So, that total to 1050-1150 lbs. or 1550-1750 lb.s with the sack on the floor.

I dont want to have all that ballast in it. HOw do u think the v-drive sacs would do? Like just them by themselves?

You'll want some kind of weight in the bow to elimate bowrise, clean up the wake, and harden it. A SL Locker/Bow sac OR Fly High tube sac is $100 at buywake.com.

You could also heck the classified forum. There is a guy or there, nateerik23, that has some side sacs for sale I think. One of them would work, too. They are brand new for $110 (regular price is like $160). I just bought a sac from him and he was very helpful and no problems with payment or shipping.

Hope this helps some!
