There has been alot of horror stories about them. I believe there is a post on wakeworld.com about customers who have gotten screwed. Last I checked there were a bunch of them who wanted to go down there with bats and crow bars!!! I suppose I would be pissed too if I paid for something and didn't get it. |

Dont do it! there are better ballast systems out there, from what ive herd their "custom bags" are just regular fat sacs. they are being sued for many counds of fraud and they are currlently bankrupt. DO NOT! DO NOT give them any money, if you do give them money it will be the last that you hear from them. Please no one needs to get screwed by this company again! _________________ wakeboards

I installed a Hippo system in our boat, and it's worked great for us. The bags are made out of a heavier material than regular sacks, so they're really durable. But, as far as I know, Hippo is out of business. Even if they're in business, I wouldn't recommend sending them any money, as many have lost theirs doing that. If you find a Hippo system out there to install in your boat, I wouldn't recommend getting one with the electronic touchpad. I guess the pads are notorious for failing. Ours has the manual flip switches, and works very well. _________________ Mike Dick

raiders,
goto wakeworld and read all the current and past posts and make your own system, it is so easy to do, but if you dont have the time make-a-wake.com has a good setup but you still have to get your own bags and tubing. There is another guy on here getting ready to start building systems for the peeps but is waiting to advertise when he has plenty of supplies in stock to accomodate everyone. |
