I am looking at an 04 Malibu LSV. It has no ballast system at all. Can I add a ballast system to this boat? any idea how much this would cost?

Wow, an 04 with no ballast. That is quite a large barefoot boat. <BR> <BR>Depending on which way you want to go 3 sacs or 4 sacs / 800phg pumps, 1200gph pumps or Jabsco Ballast Puppies. You have some room to wiggle. Decide to make it similar to factory or change it up. <BR> <BR>You would be looking at between $1000 and $2000. <BR> <BR>I figured around $1500 for 2 750lbs. rear sacs, a 370lb. ski locker sac, and a 500lb. integrated bow sac. They would be filled and drained using Attwood Tsunami 800gph pumps. Two intakes, 4 switches, and 8 outlets (1 vent, 1 drain per bag). And everything in between. <BR> <BR>This setup would be similar to newer MLS malibu ballast systems. <BR> <BR>Should be a fun project. Have a good time. <BR>Thanks, <BR><a href="mailto:Spencer@wakemakers.com">Spencer@wakem akers.com</a>
