Actual ballast and tank size A22?

Does anyone know how much each rear tank hold? the center tank and then how big the bags are from the factory? 

2019 - 2020 when ever the new hull came out.

I asked a similar question a couple months ago about the size of the hard tanks for a 2019 A22 and st22eve replied with this:

"Rear tanks are 35 gallons each and mid ship is 58 gallons @8.34 PPG =1067.52 LBS."

As for the size of the bags, I didn't think they come from the factory, do they? I've always thought those were a dealer or owner add-on if you checked the plug n play box when you made boat purchase/build or were added by dealer to their in-stock inventory. My dealer added 750's in the rear lockers and a 440 in the bow but I've seen a lot of variation with the size of bags. I've thought about upgrading to the FatSac 655 bow bag.

It's designed specifically for the 2019/20 A22 but it does push up the seats. Boardjnky4 says he has one in his boat. The 440lb bag pushes the seats up too but if I can squeeze at least another 100-150lbs in the bow without lead and without pushing the seats up THAT much further than the 440, I'm interested. I'd imagine filling it all the way would push the seats up way too much. But I don't know.

Problem with the 655 bow bag is I wouldn't think you would be able to fully fill.  My seats rise with my 440 3/4 filled.

I think Fatsac did away with the 655lb bag for that era T22/A22. Now I believe they sell a 525lb bag for those boats and a few other Axis models/years. I'm sure the 655 was just too big for the space and pushed the seats WAY too far up if filled past a certain point.

I use 575 PNP in rear and 450 in bow.  There is no way any bag larger than that will be of benefit in the bow.  No room to expand.  My dealer installed 900's in the rear originally but they were too big IMO.

Yeah I had the 865 wakemakers bags but am getting rid of them due to being way overkill.  Ended up never having them full last fall and don't like the sloshing around and not knowing how much is actually in there when partly empty.  Picked up the WM 550's this winter and will be using those going forward.
