WaveWolf, I thought of something like that couple years ago. Saw a ballast bladder in a West Marine catalog. But all too big for my boat. I have a small triangle shape between bow and first bench. I use it as a rope locker and anchor storage. Have another idea for making a ballast area. build and install a false deck with a piano hinge about 10 inches above existing inside bottom plate of bow area, lay in the sand bags, 3 to 4 60 pounders would do, and could be adjusted by removing bags if carrying another person in front seat. Then with the deck closed on top of it could still carry anchor and tie out rope, etc without risking punching a hole in the sand bags.
