Z1 surf and wake board wake how is it?

[CarFanatic]

See a lot of good deals on left over Z1's.. how is the wake behind these boats compared to the 22ve or rz2?

[Ewok]

It has a very wide beam and I have heard of several people that buy the Z1 to surf with. I guess its easy to weight and produces a very nice surf wake. I don't know about the wakeboard wake but I bet is very nice too. If it's a good size boat for you and you find a good deal on one I would not pass it up due to fears of a small wake. You should try to find one close buy and test drive it, see what it can do.

unfortunately all these dealers are a couple hours from me.. I"d liek to demo one though..

[Ewok]

I know the feeling, I drove 7 hrs to get my RZ. It's worth it to plan a weekend, call a dealer and set up a demo. You will not be disappointed.

Z1 has a great wake for both surf and wake. I find it has a longer surf wake than most boats.

[CarFanatic]

really? better then 22ve or rz2?

Someone with a Z1, anywhere near Lake Oroville needs to come up so we can document that wake. I haven't seen it in person.

IMO, the Z1 has one of the best out-of-the-box surf wakes out there. Now, keep in mind, this was pre-factory "Surf Ballast" option now offered. Back when the Z1 had 800+ factory ballast and the Ve's had 900lbs.

Both boats produce great surf wakes, the main differences is that the Z1 likes bow weight more then the Ve.

I have an 09 Z1 with the factory ballast. The surf wake is pretty good although, I don't really have much for comparison and am new at surfing this year. The wakeboard wake is great. I have yet to fill up rear ballast when wakeboarding, may give it a shot soon as I am improving.

Where are some of these leftover Z1's? I don't mind a road trip if the deal is good enough. Dealers, cities, prices... please?

Thanks!

I have a 2009 Tige 22Ve left over that i could sell you for less then a Z1 or RZR.

PM me if interested.

PM sent, though I presume a leftover Z1 would be cheaper than a leftover 22ve so yours might be out of my price range.

Waiting to hear from you... thanks!
