Anyone have pics of their rear bags full and what size they are?

I just ordered some semi-custom sized bags and their right in the middle between the fly high 750's(20") and 1100's(24") as far as height and width, these are 22" wide and tall, but my 400's still bulge into the cover panel on the seat back at 42" so I ordered these at 40" long, filled with air they dwarf the 400's I was running. I can't get to the lake for 3 weeks and was just wondering how well you guys think these will work, they are advertised at 720lb but if you do the math on the measurements I get 700.....
Whatcha think?

I think the red bag will fit the locker perfect. Get is a pic of them full in the rear locker.

There's a very good thread in Wakeworld where a guy tested just about every popular sized rear sack from Fly-Hi and Sumo. Every Fly-Hi sack with the exception of only one was under the stated weight. The Sumos were the opposite and held quite a bit more than stated with the exception of one.

I saw that thread, but I wanted to stay away from sumo due to the fitting problem some people have been having, I'm just curious as to how bunched up the standard FH750 gets under the seat panel, it's 8" longer than my 400 that already pushes against it. I already have the bags now so it's a done deal and I think they will work perfect I just wanted to see some pics of how bad they bunched up. And do the 750's push on the divider wall? These new ones I got are 2" wider but 10" shorter so they should be perfect.

750s do push against the divider wall but it's very minimal and I didn't notice the wall bulging when I had my A22. Even in my A24 with Sumo 900's there's no flexing of the divider walls but it also has a 102" beam.

I may have to go out there and air up the bag in the locker here in a bit.

Well it doesn't sit flat in the floor with air but it's a perfect fit, I bet with water it will fill the entire compartment perfect

Hopefully this will give me the surf wave I've been searching for.

So these are full custom? Is there a part number out there for them?

They're the w715 rear sacs for the x-star kit, I called Boardstop about them and BFI doesn't stock them so they let me order mine a custom color for a little bit more money.

I'll get some pics of them full of water on Labor Day weekend, also my 400's fit perfect on the floor across the back so if I have a small crew some weekend I can just fill them up.
