2012 Boats

[knelems]

Someone else may post photos of the wakes,the boat I rode in was not going wake or surf speeds.Most of the dealers were not used to the 100 degree temps and humidity in TX,another reason to move quicker in the boat. I'm sure Tige will have some photos and video of their new Pro surfer behind the boat shortly.

I'm with chpthirl and jmitchell. Not a big fan of the playpen of the bow area. I like having the option up front without climbing over everything just to tie the anchor off.

I think Tige ought to make that an option if you want an permanent cooler in the boat. I have never once used our cooler what's its intended for (keep all my ropes in the cooler).

I am liking the new board racks with the clamps. I will have to check into them to see if they will mount on a 2011 tower.

The Z3 is a sharp looking boat. Hats off for Tige in designing and developing a new boat!

Im in love once again, anyone want to buy my 08 24VE?

[NiceOnes]

anyone wonder how you you will mount speakers on that R20 tower?

Nuts and bolts?

[Timmy!]

Timmy is this the big announcement you heard about at the reunion? I've been back to this thread 3 times in the last 10 min....just can't get enough of this machine!

Yep! It was so hard not to say anything! That boat is so sweet! Tige did the playpen right in this one, the one in the Supra/Centurion were a huge turnoff to me because it made the accessibility to the drivers seat difficult. Sweet boat!

What are the ballast options on this?

@Tall - those probably aren't coolers on the back, probably for ropes and stuff.

[Timmy!]

Knelems (Karen?, can't remember), I stole some of your pictures and posted them on Wakeworld...hope you won't be too mad at me....

[smuurph84]

it looks to be 1 solid piece where the speakers would mount? or is that some kind of cover?

[talltigeguy]

Wouldn't it be awesome if one of these showed up at the Lake Mead reunion in September?

And I just noticed...NO pansy pylon!!!! Go TIGE!!!!

[NiceOnes]

I think the design is fresh but I still would miss my vision air and picklefork sized bow space. On another note my GF immediately noticed the walkthrough in the middle steals her "sun bed" as she calls it. Is there a filler cushion perhaps?

Seriously and most importantly though... Where are the pictures of the wake and waves!?

[spenchey2]

I wonder how many people will step/sit on that ski hook accidently.

[Timmy!]

New tower on an RZ2...

[Ewok]

Yuk, that new tower looks like a homebuilt replacement for a damaged Alpha Z.

New tower on an RZ2...

Is that a less expensive alternative to the Alpha Z? With the tubes on the bottom, it reminds me more of the current tower on the R20.

[knelems]

The back transom walkthru flips over to make a cushion, I just didn't get a photo in the cushion position. I didn't notice the skieye being in a bad location getting in and out of the boat with the shape of the curves in the back.
Timmy you can post any photos you want of mine.Send me an email and I will try and send you some more.

I am liking the new board racks with the clamps. I will have to check into them to see if they will mount on a 2011 tower.

X2. The bungees are a little tough to work with, particularly when you have surf board in the rack -- they are really tight, and you have to make sure you're not in the line of fire if they slip out of your hand and snap back.

In the last picture on the first post, it looks like they have the new clamp racks attached to the Alpha Z. Hopefully, the mounting hardware is the same.
