Most people are familiar with our ballast system upgrades for Malibu, Mastercraft and Nautique boats, but what a lot of our customers don’t realize is that we have a wealth of experience with all of the major manufacturers, including Tige boats.  Last summer we teamed up with Wake9.com to show just what’s possible when a no limits approach is taken to building the best possible surf wake.

Take a look at the video below to see the results, and when you’re ready to upgrade your Tige wakeboard boat, or any other brand, contact a ballast expert to start planning the perfect wake.

What it is: Mastercraft Tankbuster Factory Rear Ballast Upgrade

It’s a must have if your summer days on the lake are spent wakesurfing. Are you tired of throwing pumps over the side of your boat? Then the Mastercraft TankBuster factory ballast system upgrade is your solution. Replace the factory hard tanks with our Mastercraft wakeboard ballast system to create a massive wakesurfing or wakeboarding wake. Maximize the ballast capacity in each rear corner, while at the same time restoring full use of the lockers for storage when you don’t need the biggest wake possible.
