Is this the perfect way to add ballast tot he bow of a 250?
32 gall If so then please bid on it. I am high bidder (only bidder) and have decided that I want a smaller one.

Frank,
I like mine, it works best when there are 4 or more people on board.
Here's my previous post. [url="http://www.catalina-capri-25s.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13121"]Extra Water Tank for more Bow Weight[/url]

Frank, you're no longer high bidder. We put 4, 40 lb bags of Home Depot river rocks in our bow: 160 lbs for 20 bucks.

I put 2 group 27 batteries from Sam's club. If yer gonna carry that much weight around, it may as well be doing something for you! I keep saying I'll be posting pictures of this installation, I will soon.

Frank,
