Checklist for a used RZ2

[Dave.Mishchenko]

I'm looking at a couple of used RZ2s and was wondering about specific items to check. I've found generic lists such as this - http://waterski.about.com/od/boats/a/buyused_boat.htm but nothing more specific.

One is a 2008 and the other a 2011 (used in salt water). The first time I look at the boats I'll just be doing a physical inspection, and if there are no issues I'll move on to arranging a test on the water and then an inspection at a dealer.

Thanks.

Make sure you test out the SpeedSet (cruise control) on the 2008. Look at the stitching on the vinyl, make sure it's not separating. If it has ballast, make sure it all fills and drains properly. Check the prop and shaft, engine oil, etc. Make sure the taps works properly, the higher the number, the bigger the wake. It's a red button on the throttle lever. Check the taps hydraulic ram for leaks (located on the transom).

Good luck!

give the tower a good shake and make sure it's not loose, also check all cleats for tightness. Not a big deal but these things have been happening to my 2010.
