 |
|
I have a 04' wakesetter and want to replace the OEM ballast tanks in the rear with larger bags. I cant use plastic taks because the dealer cant work on the boat as the big tanks will get in the way.
Is there a company that makes bags like HIPPO did / does?? |

U can get into some serious engineering in changing that. As a ballast control operator on a drilling rig, you might want to do a little research on it. There are some things that will change in the load capabilities of the boat. As a personal water craft, I don't think you have to have it coast gaurd approved but it can change as far as the number of people u can carry and the amount of weight. Just a suggestion, ask questions from the people U get to do it.

wannabe, it really wouldnt be any different than just adding more sacs on top of the stock ballast, he just wants to put it out of the way, thats all.

Shawn Madison, Never did get it done yet, but research has showed that lets-go-ride has the direct replacements for both front and back sacks/tanks. I gotta get off the water long enough to do it first... 
marc, chech there website.
