This is the future of Ballast, 5 seconds to fill 2 seconds to empty and no ballast in the tanks until the boat is on plane so you don't need a big HP boat to a lot of ballast.

hows that gonna affect the transmission ... having a boat get on plane then forcing that much weight in such a short amount of time?

As opposed to getting on plane with all the weight already in the boat... I dunno seems like a lot of instant force on the tranny...?

The load is actually a lot less then trying get the boat going from a stand still with the added weight. It will load the transmission and motor to a point but the boat is already moving and on plain so the load is substantially less then a hole shot with the added ballast.
