cheap fat sac

[D-GOOSE]

I just wanted to let you all know that I tried a idea that came from one of the tread.
Went to wal mart and bought a $10.00 twin air mattress.
shoved into my 19' four winns ski locker and filled it with water. I think it's about 700#.
may wake was huge, and trim up to half instead of all the way down. The ramp was clean and the last 8" went straight up.

I'm going to try some waterbed tubes to fill up the ski locker and the sides of the boat next season..Right now I'm using cement post holders I had left over from taking my deck apart and they are a real PITA to lift in and I dont like the added weight when towing..

The great thing is if you have a hose conection at the lake your filled up in know time flat.

I wanna put about 250 in my boat. But i don't know if my dad will let me. I think our boat is only rated for 900 or something and we usually have 2 people. But if i find a 250 sack i will get one. How much do the waterbed things cost and how much do they weigh?. I think i might talk my dad into putting a sack in when just 3 people go out

from what I have seem $16-$24 each
they come in different sizes so the weight would depend
on which you get..

eg: LxWxH 72" x 13" x 4" = 3744 Cubic inches = 16.2078 Gallons (US)
16.21 Gallons x 8.35 lbs ( weight of one gallon) = 135lbs
hope I calculated it right

do a google for waterbed tubes, it'll give you some places to find them.

WBD go down to wal mart with your parents and some saved up cash and buy a mattress. Have your dad fill it to what he feel is ok for the boat. Dad will do good by you. If it works out then see if he will put more in next time.
First off he will see that you want this because you put in you hard earned cash.
sec he will feel that what he put in is good for the boat
third your having the time of your live behind the boat and doing all kinds of sh-- for him to talk about at work
