These made a huge difference with our boat!

The Straight Line 350 lb ballast bag set, designed for the rear lockers on v-drives, have a huge impact on the wake size, without eating up all of your gas money. Constructed out of a single layer of durable material, these ballast bags are easy to fill and drain, and will stand up to anything you can throw at them. From a value standpoint, the Launch Pad Link V-drive Coverless set is just about as good as it gets.
New for 2011 Straight Line has dumped the Launch Pad name and replaced it with Big Bag. The upgraded Big Bag ballast sacs are a heavier duty 30 Gauge PVC with strong, electronically welded seams for added durability. These are not the same sacs that had issues in the past; the Straight Line Big Bags are the best value in the wakeboard ballast market.
No longer will you be forced to buy expensive proprietary fittings that only work with the ballast bag's brand. Straight Line Big Bags are outfitted with three 1" NPT threaded ports allowing for the easiest integration into your factory ballast system with regular pipe threaded fittings. By increasing the size of the ports to 1" more water can flow in and out of the bag at faster rates.
These made a huge difference with our boat!
We had the original V- twin ballast bags for 10 years before they got pinholes in them. These new bags are made more like the sumo bags abs should last another 10 years. We use them in the trunks of our Calabria Pro V and in our Supreme V208 before that.
I have these bags in my boat. Before getting Sumo Sacks, this was what I put next to my engine, and down on the floor in the rear seat of my Direct Drive Supra Sunsport. This did a fantastic job of helping clean up the wake, and make a wave that was "surfable". I loved these bags, however, I have to say I like the Sumo's a bit more now... Only because they're square, and I don't have a Vdrive compartment to throw these guys into! You won't be disappointed. They take about 5 minutes to fill up with the standard white Launch Pad Sumo Pump.
We bought this product to make an impact on our wake size.
you can place the bags whereever you want, very easy to fill with the sumo pump.
It's a must if you do wakeboard and surf. Very cheap price for the excellent quality.
We add this to our Centurion avalanche c4 2007 and it helped alot to make a good wake for surf and a very clean one for wakeboard.
Very fast shipping.
I own the older version of the launch pad ballast bags and have been very happy with the quality. I'm looking forward to the 2011model called Big bags.The smarter design by putting in the one inch threaded outlets will make it easier to incorporate to my existing ballast system in my boat. P.S Just to let you know your customer service on the phone is very professional,keep up the great job!
