I should be receiving my 'new to me' 2015 SAN 210 in a couple of weeks. Was going through our boat stuff in the garage and came across our two fat sacs from Barefoot Int'l. I've got a W704 Tube Sac (62"L x 16"W x 10"H - 370 lbs) and a W705 Rear Seat/Ski Locker (60"L x 26"W x 10"H - 650 lbs). Any suggestions to make the best use of these? I was thinking the Tube Sac half filled under the port rear bench to balance the wake and help counter the prop rotation effect. Any other ideas?

Thanks nohlan - sadly yes, it needs something when evenly balanced to counter the prop. It was something the rep showed me during our test drive just so I was aware. I think most 210 owners on this board have addressed with some extra lead ballast port side. The surf wake for goofy side is 100% perfect but normal/port is not nearly as clean. Boarding wake wasn't as noticeable but still there. Is it an issue at all with your G (knowing that is a totally different animal)?Originally posted by nohlan_4 View PostNot sure you'll need any weight on a 210 to counter prop rotation it should be pretty minimal.

With the G its a lot more noticeable as the boat is bigger, the prop is bigger and way the hull is shaped makes it more sensitive to side to side weight transfer. That being said the portside wash on your surf wake is due to prop rotation not counter weight. Counter weight wash would only be noticeable at wakeboard speed or any speed above plane. If your worried about it I would put no more than 150lbs under the observer seat and that would fix it easily I would say. I don't even counter weight my G because I'm not a good enough wake boarder to notice at all when I'm riding.Originally posted by Flyindutchman View Post
