So while im pulling hard drive today at work, I'm thinking, could use the three double tubes in the boat, for fat sacs?? Off the top of my head, I can not think of anything "wrong" with it, not too much strain on the tubes them sevles.

Its not a bad idea if you don't care about having tubes taking ALL of your space. Plus fat sacks are cheaper then tubes. Back in high school my friend and I thought of all the ways to cheap out on not buying fat sacks, these were our ideas

1. Bought rubbermade containers and filled them with concrete (about 100lbs each)

2. Before we could drive (and his parents wouldn't let us put weight in the boat) we tied baskets onto our bikes and rode 3 miles with about 100lbs of weights in each basket. Once at his house we hid the weight plates under the seats

3. stole rebar from construction sites (discarded rebar) and stuffed it in the gunwells (sp?)

4. We thought about filling the inner tubes with water but just never actually did it.

Well we have 3 double tubes that live in the boat, so I was thinking we could put them to some sort of use. Now I dont think the father would be down for this, but since i should be able to take it by my self this year, so we could fill them up and help out my wakesurf wake. rub rails in the water, rub rails in the water.

Once you get that rubrail in the water, try not to get any water in your fuel vent.

That is something i have been meaning to do, the fuel filter mod thing. add that one to the mod list....
