Couple questions about my 26fx

n2ojoe · 10-20-2009, 12:44 PM

I figured i would ask you 26 awesome owners these questions. i found in the nose behind the fridge and on the other side a bunch of sand bags 4 on the left and 3 on the right they have to be 50-75 pounds each does any one else have sand bags in the front or was someone playing with this thing?? i local guy told me thats how they weight some boats so dont take them out??

Weights, heard about it before.
I would say they add to keep the nose down in roughwater.

If I were you, they would be the first things out of the boat.

You can always put them back in, but I would say, NOT.

My 2 cents

yea i took them out. the boat felt a ton faster and needed less trim to get there.. but i wonder if any other 26fx owner have them in the front
