2012 Boats

I'm guessing the forks will interchange with the existing alpha racks.They just had one on display and the one on the white/red/black Z3 to use.

I Think that that new tower look cool. It is stealth looking and I do think it looks better in black then the orange. Some creative ideas with a wrap could make that boat look like you were there to bomb someone.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I like the regular R20 tower better than this new one, but I like the Alpha Z the most !

I also really like the mirror and mounting arm. It looks like you could fold it down and not have to take it off to put the cover on. I'll show these pics to my dealer and try to order one.

Love it. That being said, not a fan of the tower. Still better than the master craft monstrosity. I can't wait to get one in 7 yrs

Not a fan of that tower on the RZ2. I would've just liked to see the Alpha Z tower a few inches higher so we don't have to duck every time we walk underneath it.

Well, there are some things I really like about the Z3 and some things I'm a little disappointed by. The main thing I'm disappointed by is the looks. I was hoping for a 23ft. Z1. It looks more like a 23'9" RZR without a picklefork. The Z1 has such beautiful lines. This boat retains the only line I didn't really care for on the Z1, the bow top cap. The rest of it looks nothing like the original. It doesn't do a thing for me. Maybe that's just the disappointment talking. I also don't understand the bi-level seat back on the back bench. I don't get it. I'm also not a fan of a clip on mirror. As nice as that one looks, its still a clip on. I'd much rather see something integrated into the windshield support.

On to the positives. Trash can! Kickass. Center walk-thru on the transom. Kickass. Is that a vanity mirror on the bottom of the observers seat? Kickass. Clampdown racks. Kickass. Courtesy lights on the underside of the tower. Kickass. I love the new dash and the Seadeck material on the platform and walk-thru. I personally like the playpen bow/cooler. That's smart design IMO. I'm not overly impressed by the shifter but, it doesn't bother me. Just kinda blingy for my simpleton tastes.

Overall, it looks to have all kinds of bitchin stuff, I just wish it looked like a Z1.

I like that new tower as a price point option. Looks a lot better than that first version from the R20.

Nuts and bolts?

Ha!

It would be nice to see a non-touch option. I like good-ol-fashioned switches.

I am all for progression, don't get me wrong, but I have to agree with NICKYPOO on this one. I believe that the touch screens just add one more layer of complexity when things go south.

Exactly.

And adds price. I like a lot of the things on the Z3 but due to price and me not wanting that big of a boat I will keep the Z1 in my top 3 for my next boat.

X3, that's why I love my 2009. I've got the PCM engine, alpha z and switches! I also noticed on the new Tige website they are advertising a 5 year warranty on the Tige touch feature. They didn't offer that in 2010.

[Fiveflat]

Tige touch is an option as far as I know...
