New Fat Sacks for the Season!!!!

[ky1e]

Yewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwp I'm excited.
Got a 1000 lbs fly high nose sack and two nautique fly high wedge sacks at 400 a pop. Got a new tsunami pump to go with it soooo stoked. Now with ballast and one of the old 550s in the walkway, the wake is going to be ohhhh so nice this summer.

Watch the nose with that 1000lb sac. That is going to be a loaded down boat for sure.

NICE!!!!!!!!

thats cool! will the ballast bags be hidden or out on the floor?

wake eater, the only ballast you will be able to see is the nose sack, if we have more than 3 people. If it is just two of us we'll put another 550 from the drivers seat to the backseat. Normally we throw a 550 in the isle way to the nose and then a 550 in the nose, so this new 1000 pound sac is going to clean up the look a lot. I'm really excited about the wedge sacks too because they are designed just for the nautique vdrive compartment, which you may not know, are at about a 30 degree tilt shaped like a triangle. You still can pretty much fill an entire sac but this will be so much cleaner. We also run the full factory ballast which i believe is around 900 pounds. So the total we are rolling with is:
900+400+400+1000+550=3250
When I just have my dad pull me, after 12 years he still thinks there is no reason to have ballast, so I wont have that 550 in the isle way, but i'll put the 1000 in the nose and just say it balances out the driver with him not knowing there are two more sacs in the back.

flixmaster, it is really hard to sink the nose on the 210's if you drive them properly. It is probably one of the best things about the boat. You can have 1000 pounds in the nose and idle back through your double up rollers to pick up a downed rider and all you have to do is give a little gas through them and you are clear. When we had the 01 X-Star (X-1) it took some serious skill to MINIMIZE taking water over the nose. My buddy had a 226 team and if we just had the boat weighted in the back with PEOPLE in the nose, it would take water over. Not to mention it seriously took 4000 pounds to get a decent wake out of that thing and you have to put soooooo much weight in the nose to get on plane. They got it when Nautique first came out with the 226 as the "new super air" and Murray and Harf were sporting them, so his dad went with that one. Inside the boat was beautiful. So much room, and very aesthetically pleasing but just not a wakeboard boat. It is why 6 line are crossover lines now ie 226 236 etc.

shaggyboarder, the wake was actually so big that I was a little uncomfortable at first because I hadn't ridden wake in so long. And the 1000 pound sacker in the nose made the wake more solid than I have ever felt it, it was like a rock. I rode behind the projects boat 5 years ago and I couldn't figure out how they got their wake thicker then mine being that I felt like i maxed out the weight. I now figured it out, needed more weight DIRECTLY in the nose compared to before where i put the 550 in the isle and then the 550 in the nose. Also the 550 in the isle would never fully be filled. The boat drove as if it had 0 pounds in it. When we took out the weight at the end, and I drove back to the dock, I honestly thought the boat drove better with the weight in it then not. You should have been there, it was pretty epic. You would have laughed so hard, I always start off with a toeside wake jump when I ride, but being that I haven't ridden boat in about 8 months, a toeside wake jump on a fully weighted 210 is one of the hardest tricks in the book . I ABSOLUTELY ATE IT...ON A TOESIDE WAKE JUMP. I basically ended up doing an off axis blind 180 but the wrong direction of off axis, but then again, a toeside wake jump on a super air is harder than a pete rose.
