I have a 2003 Ski Centurion Avalanche C4. It has 260 pound center ballast and I have 2 150 pound fat sacs. I want to upgrade my wake. I was thinking about buying the PRO X SERIES JUMBO V-DRIVE SURF SAC - 50 X 24 X 24 - 1100 LBS for the rear and then moving the other sacs I have to the bow of the boat. My thinking is I will be able to fill one side completely up when I surf then fill the rears half up when I wakeboard? Is this a good plan and will it accomplish a large wake? Is it okay to routinely use the sacs half full or will that cause problems?

Thanks!

Using sacs half full won't be a problem at all. The water will be able to move around more but it's not going to hurt anything. Plus then the next time you want to upgrade you can just fill your sacs full Smile You should post up some pics of the wake. Been curious about the centurions. We have a dealer in the area.

We have put piggy back sacs in our malibu and used the 750s. Then just fill them 1/2 for wakeboarding. Full on either side for surfing.

Great! I just ordered the 1100 pounds sacs for each locker. Should be a tight fit. I will get pictures of the wake when I get them in. Thanks!
