ollieshuvitz, I haven't actually seen the tank yet in person, just on the website. Hopefully it works out and is worth it. Did you get to see how it is mounted and how the tank fills? Schuppert is going to install it, but we really aren't to sure how it actually functions.

Parker, I ordered one for my Sea Doo to try out. How does the ballast tank fill? Do you have to add a bilge pump, or is it gravity filled, or?

Thanks,
Chris

river,
from what cody posted on here a while back (he works for seadoo), the way i understand it is that it sort of sucks in the water somehow while the ski is running, and then once it's full it just keeps going through the ballast tank. (i assume like how the older nautiques' ballast tanks work). i was looking for the specific thread but i couldnt find it.

they should raise the price to 1200.00 so it's worth it. Rolling Eyes

that wake looks so fun.

hey as far as it fitting it goes on and off in like 4seconds so you could probly mount it with some engineering on any ski. I think. it is one clamp that holds it on and on quick release fill hose. Getto rig for the win I all about it Wink throw it on your yamaha lol

i just got a 03 GTI SE, would it fit on that?
I guess with out the pylon it kind of defeats the purpose though..
and it comes with 1 board rack, yes?
we will see.
