Hi Crew

Anyone know how much ballast would be in each hard tank at the back (generally speaking) of 2003 Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX. - Lbs

My limited web searching is proving frustrating.

Should be the above the floor tanks in each rear locker.  Weights for each tank should be 250lbs.

Looks like 500lbs in the center of the boat and 200lbs each side.

I just googled "malibu boat launch system" or MLS and it was the first link that popped up.

Rear hard tanks of 2003 hold 250 lbs each.

And its best and ez to remove them and replace with 750lb Fat Sacs using existing plumbing and pumps.

The weight doesn't matter as all should be ripped out and replaced with proper sacks anyway.

jumping in on the horse here. Pull out the 250 rear hard and replace with bags. I replaced my original pumps with higher flo and did new larger hose. Fills much faster than the small stock ones. Center is about 450. I didnt change bags there.
