Has anyone heard of Make a Wake ballast systems? I was searching the web & found them. They have a 3 pump system for $975 that I'm considering buying & was wandering if anyone has heard of or bought from them.

Looks good! Kind of slow though, but I like the idea how small it is. Without wraparound seating, it wouldn't look too clean, but it's a good idea.

It seems like $975 is kinda steep for just the pumps and a couple of valves since you don't get any sacs with it. They give you a good shot of all the components assembled.




IMO if you are mechanicly inclined enough to install one of these it would be a no brainer to make one.

From the pics it looks like Ballast Puppies. Even at that, I believe they are about $175 each, so for about 600 bucks you could build what they have pictured.

You could use Simers and do it for about 250. They are not as reliable, but will do the job.
