Intergrated ballast in my 210

[wv210]

Hello everyone. I just purchased a new 210 sante which is my first nautique. With that being said, I am also new to planet nautique. My question is this: how difficult is the install of the fly high 1600lb integrated ballast. I like things to be very clean looking and do not want it to look like it is after market. Any thoughts?? Also, anyone in the dc area that would like to ride I have a great group a riders with a multitude of boats if anyone is interested. Thanks!

The system is not difficult at all to install. It will take you a couple of hours doing it for the first time. Don't live in D.C. area but travel to Richmond quite a bit so maybe I could possibly hit you up to ride one trip. Congrats on the new boat too. Do you have any pics of it? Where did you get it from, Chessie?

I installed the fly high system myself except I also integrated a ski locker sack with it. So basically the stock center tank overflows into the ski locker sack, then the ski locker sack overflows into the bow sac and then the overflow goes from the bow sac out the side of the boat. Mark with N3 Boatworks in Indianapolis, IN showed me how to hook everything up, but you should be able to figure it out on your own. It's not a very hard install at all, just a little time consuming and mine looks very clean like it came from the factory.

Thanks for the thoughts. I didn't think it could be too terrible but thought it best to ask. Latonkaboarder: I did buy it from Chessie, it is actually a 2008 leftover that they had with 0 hours on it. So it worked out well for me. I will post pictures soon, I just got the bimini, wet sounds, and some other odds and ends so it should be photo worthy soon. We are about 2.5 hours from Richmond but you are more than welcome to come ride with us. We try to get out an evening through the week and of course on the weekends. JWAT thanks for the information! I will let you know how the install goes!

Another DC area Nautique!

Wow where in the DC area do you ride? I'm in Arlington VA and either ride at Lake Anna or the upper Potomac near Hagerstown. Nice to have some other Nautiques around here! I have an older 210, so I can't contribute to your question, sorry for the slight hijack.

dude: I ride on the upper Potomac on dam 4 and sometime dam 5. I used to have a blue supra launch. Other boats I go out on are a blue malibu vlx, black nautique, orange supra. I'm sure we have passed before. If you ever wanna ride let me know!
