Wake board boats use ballast tanks that fill with water.


I actually thought of that. There is a triangular area in the bow of the Tyee, and it might be able to hold a water tank of 25-30 gallons. This would give me about 210-250 pounds of ballast. So that is a definite possibility, in terms of a good amount of weight in the bow. The problem would be to get a custom tank fabricated and mounted (not so hard), but then a guy would probably need a pump to fill and/or drain it. That might not be as easy--but I'll certainly be looking into it.

So this is definitely a possibility...
