Its Official!! Picking up new boat!

So based on what I am reading. I was thinking of adding vents to the 3 bags, adjust the fill times so I could max the bags out and maybe add a larger bag to the port side. I think I would want the pump to run 30 seconds or so past water coming out the vent.
From the pictures it looks like you could add some lead bags to the area between the ballast wall and amps. Just need to think about how it will ride on the left side if you leave them there.
Also, It would be nice if we could get Wakemakers to do a custom bag for the swim platform. Maybe a 600 to 800. I wonder if you could hijack the Starboard pump with a valve or another pump and have a bag tucked in the port wet locker that you could put on the swim deck. I noticed someone was trying to work on that with wakemakers.

Thinking out loud.

Yes adding vents if not already is on the list. I like my bags vented. I think @0627Devildog was working with Wakemakers to get a custom bag made but has hit some road blocks? When I get my fill port done it will be super simple to fill bags anywhere in the boat.
 
WOW, @jcyamaharider that was fast, congrats on the new boat!! You'll have to run us down on the lake, because we won't recognize the boat until we see it up close, lol.
 
It was fast....I am still in shock.

First off, Congrats! I've loved both my 2016 and 2017, and I'm sure you'll love yours!!

I haven't had a bag out, but if they do have fittings on top you can add a vent line and tee it into the bilge line with a one way in the bilge line just before the tee. Unfortunately I don't believe that the fill times can be adjust so you cant fill the bags more.

I fill both stock rear bags 100% and use the Ronix 8.3 wake wedge and I can drop the rope with ease. It usually has 75%-100% fuel and my family of five on board three children under the age of 8 and one adult w/ one person surfing.
