Exactly, it happens over and over in the summer, and not just on weekends.

I usually have my ballast tanks full... make the boat ride like a damn caddy!

You wouldn't be able to tell though! View attachment 1349288

Awesome pic and float. I’m guessing without them getting on plane is a bit of a chore.
Do you run the ballasts full during races or fill them and back it down?

No issue getting on plane full or empty. They do add roughly 1200lbs of weight though, so costs around 10mph on top, or a bit of fuel cruising. The front tank will fill in about 90 seconds, and dumps in about a minute. Center tank is about 2 minutes to fill, and 90 seconds to empty. They are filled and drained as needed all on the fly.

Has some MASSIVE tabs on the back too, so it can crush some big water.
