We've owned this boat for about a year and we are hooked on wake surfing. So I've been making some improvements and have ambitions to do more. Who doesn't like a project, anyway...
Last summer I added 2 more hard tanks in the back on top of the stock hard tanks. Probably should have went with Enzo sacs but would have to fab a better enclosure for those. Additional hard tanks were easier at the time. Also added a bow bag (with vent and a drain pump) and another pump to fill it and the bag we put on the back seats.
The extra hard tanks are plumbed in parallel with the stock tanks. I added dedicated drain pumps to the new tanks this spring so they would drain quicker.
Sorry I missed your posts Packrat and bomoseen avy. The bow bag was under the seats. There can be some sharp fiberglass under there so we smoothed that out and added some EVA pads to protect the bag from punctures. I added another pump to fill it and also had the same pump plumbed to a hose bib in the back so we could use it to fill a bag we laid on the back seat. We always ran with all bags full and boat sat mostly level unless we had a bunch of crew. They would sit on the surfside. Rubrail would barely touch the water at the rear corner while surfing.
I made my own suck wedge and it was placed just ahead of the sideswipe. That really helped clean up the lip of the wave. below is a photo of it installed. I still have two of the suck wedges that I would sell for $75 each. They are small and float but we never had one come loose.
Here is a collage of how it looks and is constructed. I would be happy to CNC the parts so you can get the handle and build it yourself. $50 for the parts. If interested, send me a text or email me at Hein@DIYvan.com
All the best,
Hein
