Ok, so I won't be able to get terribly technical here, but between my husband and I - I seem to be the resident techy, relatively speaking. This weekend a friend brought some bags to place around the boat to add to what we have, and wow, what a difference!! Currently, After the hard tank L and R rear 200's and center 500 - we have two additional 400's in the back. Nothing in the front plug and play. He brought three 500 lb bags - places them over R and L rear bags and one in the front. And pulled up the wedge. So we went from 1700 lbs to 3200 lbs.

So he looked around a bit for AXIS plug and play systems and found this. http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... _IDytm9LCR

Essentially, it's two 750's and one 1000 lb for the front. He's offered to do the install.

My questions are...

-Do anyone of you have this setup and are you pleased with it?
-Did you do the prop change it recommends and/or the engine compartment reinforcement?
-Is this safe?

Sorry, that's a 950 for the front, not 1000

First of all... you are probably going to be getting all kinds of answers because it seems that everyone is a little different on what they like.

We have the Sumo 600's in the rear and the Fly High 950 under the front. My son rides with that weight along with factory ballast and the wedge down and we have the stock prop. We have not reinforced the side panels. Do some more research on the Sumo bags. You may want to go with the Fly High bags in the rear as well.
Good Luck.

I ran sumo 900's in the rear. About 1/2-2/3 full for wakeboarding and full (on the surf side) for surfing.

I run the 750's with arrow sac and its a great combination. you will not get 950 lbs. in either brands front arrow bag, I would estimate 650-700. Maybe I'll measure next time I'm out. I didn't not have to reinforce engine divider walls. One bit of advise from someone who isn't pimping product for anyone. For god sake and your own buy fly high bags. You will not be disappointed and you wont have any leaks. I originally ordered sumo's because of the great reviews on this site.( I had previously only ran fly high in all my boats and why I even second guessed it I must have been an idiot) after multiple emails and phone calls I ended up with fly high. Beyond happy with what I ended up with. Installed super easy and haven't had a single leak or fitting pop out. don't just order online call boardstop and ask their opinion on ballast bags. Great, honest people to deal with.

I've never had any leaks with my fly high arrow sac or my sumo 900's in the rear.

Buy some more ballast hose and make the lines for the front sac longer and put it on top of the seat. It will push past 1000 lbs.
