Thought you guys would like to see this. I just bought a set of factory rear tanks and plumbed them in next to the original set. Works like a dream!!! Takes about an additional 3 minutes to fill, but it was well worth it. I have these and about 800lbs of lead also, so the wake has a great shape. I love not having to fill fat sacs or anyhting. I just crank it down off the lift, and ride. Enjoy!

Did you do it yourself or have someone do it? Would you mind sharing the cost? We are looking at plumbing in two 750lb sacks in the rear, but the tanks would be really nice and it looks good too. With the 800lbs of lead what is your total weight then. What are you running in the bow for weight?

Beside the cost of the tanks. (WakeWorld Forum $125.00 shipped) The cost for the plumbing hardware was about $40.00. Very inexpensive upgrade. Some 3/4" hose, "t" junctions, right angle fittings, and hose clamps and your done. The total weight is about 2500lbs. I have about 375lbs. of the lead in the bow. You really have to the load the bow on the X-2, but still keep the 60-40 weight distribution. Here is a picture of me riding and the wake from about a month ago.

thanks, we are thinking of taking out the factory tanks and putting in the 750 and we are running two 275's in the bow of our X-10, Still looking for some suggestions, wake not quite what we want yet. I'll have to mention this to Lance.
