New RZ2

I could use a double surf rack, what am I going to put in the small one? I think we MAY be getting a skim board.

I personally think the Samson swivel racks are better anyway. But, you would have to convince them to make a white one for you.

You know, maybe you guys noticed, I didn't. Check out these pictures.





I didn't notice before, but you can see the hard ballast tanks in the corners. That is cool.

So when's it ARRIVING!

I wonder if the bilge is still white...That might come in handy for when you drop crap in there and it swallows it up like a black hole. I know it would show the oil stains and mold and midlew, but might be worth having a white bilge sometimes.

Tige left plenty of crap in my boat! bolts, screws and a hose clamp that came in handy when I didn't have one.

My MC is full of screws, washers and hose clamp trimmings also, so I think it is universal.

Nice ride, ragboy!

They're all going for that extra ballast effect

I'd love to see what the soft ballast bags in the rear lockers look like when it's all done. Do they just suck into the sides when empty so that there's (almost) full storage in there? When full, will they fill up the lockers, or can you put bigger bags in there and plumb them to the built-in system?

The boat looks great, ragboy. Congrats.

They are kinda a wedge shape sac and when empty, the fold up against the outside wall with a false floor/wall piece covering them.

Larger sacs can be switched in, but there would need to be some re-routing of the drain hose or a custom sac used. I dont think a larger sac would fold up quite the same way as the factory sac, but would still give you the storage space when empty.

So do the bags then fill from the outside in, instead of from the bottom up?

Not 100% sure, but I think the tank's overflow/vent goes to the top of the sac to fill it when the tank is full and would normally purge. I do know that the sac also gravity drains back into the tank from a fitting along the bottom/outside edge of the sac. If so, it may fill some from the bottom up as well.

Real sweet looking RZ. I really like the white tower and the Blue and White boat. Sweet. Perfect colors.

Thanks. I have the entire wakeshredders.com crew, plus Chase Hazen here now. They came over and we fed them a good homecooked meal. I asked them to come out and share with me, the breaking in of the new Tige. I haven't even been in the boat yet, truly virgin.

For the occasion, I told Dennis Horton and he jumped at the chance of free BBQ and a chance to get on the boat before me. So the master weighter and Sean Cummings will be overseeing the weighting, and we will be bringing 2 SLR cameras, one on boat, and one in pontoon chase. At least 2, probably 3 video cameras 1 video from pontoon chase, 1 mounted low on the side with the wide angle lens to get the best surfing action, and another, maybe on one of the jet skis.

Oh, I forgot to mention that James Walker will be joining us also. Going to be an epic day tomorrow, mid day on oroville, shredding our faces off.

Now that is a nice line-up of wakesurfers. You should make a movie out of it like they do for wakeboarding now.
