Cheap Weight

Recommended Posts

I am looking for about 700-1000 pounds for the rear locker on my Iride. I was thinking about making concrete buckets. anyone else have ideas that would be easy to take out when I am trailering the boat? I saw those bags but am not really interested in paying a dollar a pound for those things.

No, i am not going to lower my female standards either!

stay away from concrete in that weight you take a wave or something you have no way to remove the weight

The advantage to concrete is it can be moved around to experiment with placement. Once you know how much weight you need, and where you need it, you can switch to a more permanent option......or not. If you use the 5 gallon buckets, make sure to put some kind of lifting handle into the concrete before it dries. I found out the cheap wire handles will break off pretty quick.

Home Depot has plastic containers in all sizes and shapes. My wake started washing out after I put my skyski rack on the drivers side. (2004 23' LSV). A window box full of concrete under the passenger side ski compartment solved that.

I was initially thinking about making them into 100 pound blocks or so with some sturdy handles. Just looking to see if anyone else had other ideas. My only concern with the sand would be it spilling or something like that.

I'm not sure you should be putting that much weight in there. Isn't that area right on top of the gas tank?

As stated earlier, if you want that much weight, you might as well look for some used fat sacks.

I agree with Pete and srintx, go with fat sacs. You can find some cheap and if you are looking at going dirt cheap just buy a few twin air mattresses and fill them up. Total cost would be under $80.

Finally got a chance to take a picture of the warning label in my '06 iRide. 75 lbs max
