hi can anyone give me any ideas as to ballast in an apache 57" single engine and all other gear tuned pipe ect ect

A 1000ml. IV bag ( same as fuel bag ) with any amount of water you need to put in it. It will fit almost anywhere.

I don't think water in an IV bag or tank of any kind isn't a good idea because WATER MOVES and will throw your balance off when the water gets rough or when you turn.

Steve, you mean a bag of water will move around, sort of like a bag of FUEL? The bag would be secured in the bottom of an Apache V hull, and depending on the amount of water he needed, he could only use the size of bag nessesary.

Instead of criticizing someone else's ideas, how 'bout you offer the gentleman one of your own?

A "better system" than a filled IV bag is to place lead weight inside the floatation noodles and tape the ends of noodles closed. Like Andy does from AC Boats.

You can change or vary the position of the weight inside the noodles by adding or removing weight and by moving the weight inside the noodle till you get what you need.

Some boats run better with weight only on one side - hard to do with a IV bag especially one so big.

It's not my idea it comes from AC Boats.

Dennis you seem to have no problem criticizing me on here - if you don't want people to comment (which is what Steve did) then simple DON'T Post. Not all of us are internet experts some actually learn from running boats.

Maybe post a video or two of Your boats ACTALLY running.

Cheers

Randy
