Does anyone know how big of a bag will fit on each side of my engine. I also want one the will use my existing ballast fill and drain tubes. I was wondering if a 20x50 would fit. Basically I just want more weight the ones that are in it are 250s. 2002 Supra Launch SSV

no, I don't know, yet, but I've toyed with the idea of moving the 2 rear 250's in the mobius lsv up in the bow and replacing them with bigger bags. Might as well try to put those 250's to good use.

Spy, the gravity games bags are available for the SSV. You can replace your existing front bag with a much larger bag, and the same with the back. When my rear bags are half way full, in the back , the compartment doors start to open!

They are made by Barefoot Int.

Spy, I am a dealer, so I just ordered them from Barefoot. Just get in touch with any local Barefoot Int dealer, or I can order them for you as well..however, they are extremely expensive!

What is expensive. Are they designed specifically for the SSV. Are they just 20 x 50 sacs? Can you give me an estimate of what it costs for all three bags

They are designed just for the SSV. The front bag goes from where you hook up the hoses all the way up to the front. The rear bags are square to fit the compartment.

They are over $700 for the set.

I actually bought two straight line launch pad 540s and the connected perfectly. 79.00 a piece. This made a huge difference.

I just installed some 600lb fat sacks in the back 20 X 50. all you have to do is lenghthen the hoses....when you fill the first time fill "all the way to let all the air out". The straps on the outer bag helps keep the doors from coming open...but dont use the pins to keep them shut. When the doors come open the bags are full and "the wake is sick!!!" Got the bags for $99 each and the hose for 14 bucks from the hardware store. Need plastic hose fittings 2-male and 2-female, 6 foot of clear non collapse hose. The fittings I found were blue so matched and looked sweet. Definately worth the money and the half hour to hook up.......later
