Haha ohhh there is... I read a post earlier and apparently some guy went to Dairy Queen and asked for the bags they use for the soft serve. See if that helps. You'll still need to buy a pump though. _________________

10-20Gal Tupperware bins at Walmart are the cheapest, fastest way to get ballast in your boat. Just dump them in the water, lift them into the boat and away you go. Then just lift over the side to empty. Quick, Easy, Clean and Cheap... Can't go wrong.
You could always forget to put the plug in your boat and let a little water in. Just remember to watch the water level so you don't fill it up too much. Bad idea, but an option!! |

How do you lift 20 gal. of water into the boat? That weighs about 120lbs, I will be very impressed if you could lift it over the freeboard of most any boat. I think if you were to buy a pump though, this could work.

water-bed mattress could work,but youd have to fill it up with a pump from inside the boat cuz that would be almost impossible to put it in the boat already full _________________ hyperlite riders |

ballywho,
20 gallons would be about 160 pounds. |

It requires two people! If you're a weenie, it might require more. |

Try filling up an old tube (like the big ones you use for tubing). Thats what we do, and it works great. Super cheap. |

theres this guy on our lake who made his own wakeboarding boat...he made his own 8 foot tower and for fat sacs.. he used old barrels and put them in the back of his boat..all you would need to buy would be the pumps(regular fat sac pumps work) |
