    Ballast 21RDC

    Has anyone put lead shot in there rear storage I was wondering if it would crack the plastic liner? On my old boat not a Bullet that compartment was glassed to the stingers you could jump up and down in it.

    Some of the rear storage box is glassed down to the hull, the rest of it isn't very far from the bottom of the boat. Those storage compartments are actually gel over fiberglass.

    The problem with putting ballast in them is that the shape of them makes most of the weight inside the boat, you need to put ballast as close to the side of the boat as possible to use less..
