Advice on something

Tomorrow is my last time i get to ride, and we want to try adding a ton of weight to the boat. I am planning on taking my air mattress and its pump, a big oil funnel, and a big bucket, and filling the air mattress up with water to make a fat sac. Has anybody done this, and how good did it work for u? also, tell me if this is the best way to fill it up..............blow it all the way up with air first, then take the funnel and pour the water into it while the funnel end is in the air mattress hole. What do you guys think?

at one of the AWA comps in AZ this year they put a waterbed matress on the floor. Seemed to work pretty well, they used a fatsac pump.

yeah i don't have one of those though. do walmart or something like that sell some tubes or something like that to drain the water into it. i guess that would work better than the oil funnel.

i'm gonna take the back bench out because its removable, and then lay the mattress in the back because there will be extra room. plus it will be like a waterbed for the other people in the boat.

fifeman, walmart sells bilge pumps that are the same as a fat sack pump, they are $19 or so.
