Default Anyone remember the wakeboard ballasts that doubled as rear jump seats ?

I remember looking through the Overton's catalog, must have been several years ago now, and seeing the 'Fat Sac' type of ballast products that were made to replace your rear jump seats next to the motor cover... now they're nowhere to be found ! A search of the internet makes it seem like they never were. Who knows, maybe I'm losing it...

Anyone have any idea what might have happened to this product ?

I'm looking to improve the wake on my 1991 1900Z and could use some suggestions from those who may have made some progress along these lines.

Thanks !

    Very cool and thanks ! I did come across those sites in my digging, but still cannot find any reference to the jump seat ballasts... must have been some safety or structural reason they didn't remain in production. I'll see what I can come up with configuration wise using combinations of those bags.

    Still frozen here so I have some time !
