Surfing behind LSV.. Try this ballast setup

**csm** · 04-29-2009, 05:24 PM

What do you guys secure your extra ballast bags with when they are on a seat? Right now, I put 500# on the port side seats (along with my 750# in the back and 400# in ski locker), and to keep them from falling, I have to put the removable back seat parallel with the side seat... I don't really like doing this since there's less floor room, and the engine noise is louder when that seat is removed. Do y'all just use bungee straps, or what?

I want to try the suggestion of moving some weight to the bow, but not sure how I would keep it from rolling around.

Daze, are those demos they sent or did you buy them?

Sled, I bought them both. For 418. shipped ( Ebay--Thanks Pat for the link) I figured I just could not go wrong-I did Look at some other boards and they want 600-800 for one board-that is just not in my budget. I put 2 photos on the other thread I started.

Way cool, that's the way to do it. I got a Inland surfer Red Tide last fall for a good deal like that, I want to say around 200 shipped.

I knew Stacy was diggin' the Broadcast but didn't know it was enough to go get TWO of them! Did you get both sizes? If so, great, cuz I'd like to try the shorter one just to see the difference.

yep-got both sizes, look on the thread were i was asking about them and you gave me all those links-thanks as that saved me some coin.

**kaneboats** · 04-30-2009, 05:01 PM

Yup, found that about 2 min. later. Congrats!

Most of you already know but for those who don't. I run the Enzo sacs in lockers of my LSV. They are rated at 1450 lbs each but I can't quite fill the legs all the way. I'm guessing I get every bit of 1100lbs in each locker. Then run factory floor sack with a 550 in the walkway. The wave is very nice. This year I'm playing around with a home made intigrated bow sack until I can get real one.
Dang, if I hadn't bought those wheels...
Either way the enzo sacks work really well in the LSV. The only issue is the seat bases arn't as wide as the Centurion so the legs don't fill all the way, But for a plug and play operation it works awesome. Unforntunately my friends and family are equally devided between goofy and regular, so I needed to have sacks on both sides.
I called Flyhi directly and bought factory seconds for just under 500 for the pair.
I'll bet Wakemakers could take care of you if you looked into it.

Here is some pics of the goofy wake on our site. Sorry no regular pics.

Here's a few more pics. Depending on people that wave can get massive. I would easily put it up against the big three... wait we are one of the big three now.

Wait I found a regular wake set-up in a video even.
Here is my brother-in-law 6'1" 215lbs on our React Classic with my daughter. It was Labor day weekend and all the yachts were coming back from thier party lagoon. Hence the rollers. Regardless you get the idea. Also I had only the floor bag full. No extra weight up front and the enzo sack full.
Enjoy!!
