We sink a boat to demonstrate what happens if you use too much solid ballast. When you ballast a boat, use mostly water. Solid ballast should never exceed about 20% (we guess) the weight capacity of your boat. When you use solid ballast you can carry fewer passengers.

  • any questions? this leaves only questions

  • I guess Id better replace the engine valves if Im running on leaded

  • soon there will be no more ballast tanks or fat sacks because of the spread of algae

  • I have a question. Dont you having better things to do with your time rather than wasting others time?????????????????

  • do never drive your boat upside down, it will only make things worse

  • considering i have a really expensive boat i must know what im talking about

  • @xany2009 well considering my car weighs 2000 lbs ide say im pretty good and my friend has a super air nautige and it holds alot more than 2000 pounds

  • @jbm4551 considering I have a wakeboard edition x-7 and i ride all the time between Air Nautiques, Malibu Wakesetters, and my buddies x-2 I'm pretty aware that its not as much as a car. Usually around 2,000 max

  • @xany2009 well considering pro wakeboard boats usaully have a couple thousand pounds of ballast and wake surfers have the same and the max amount of people all in the back

  • @jbm4551 not true at all. Mastercraft X Star will sink if you put as little as 800 pounds over the limit. However it does depend on where you put them.
