Rzr wakeboard wake

[Knb]

We are looking at buying a rzr and I have found info about the surf wake but nothing about the wakeboard wake. Has anyone rode behind one or own one? Also have you all had any problems with the boat? Thanks!

I believe that user JreisRZR, has a 2011 RZR, wakeboards. That might be the majority of what he does. You can search on his username to find threads or posts by him or send him a PM. If I recall he is going to school and busy so I do not know if he will see this thread.

Love the wake! My friend has an x-25 and prefers the rzr wake, that says alot. I have more pics when I get a free minute. No problems to date aside from some bad gas. 1600 lbs and 3 people makes a pretty good wake for a 20 footer, nice lip on the wake, good on gas, skiing is good not great, launches great outta the hole with the 343 even slammed... I could to go on and on

Thanks!! Sounds like everyone likes the rzr! Glad you haven't had any problems out of the 343 that's what we are going to get. Do you like the touch screen? Kinda sketchy bout that part.

let me put it to you this way:
If it wasnt going to be included we werent going to get it, it was included and now i dont think i could go back to having switches

yes the 343 is bulletproof, aside from having to change the inline filter no problems there, Also uses alot less gas than other boats, run maybe about 6 gph when fully loaded with rider in tow

Anyways heres more of the wake, its very wide (1600lb surf ballast, 2 200lb people ~2000lbs, 22mph taps at 4, 63 feet out)

Nice Wake!

Wow that wake is nice! yeah that's the way we are about the switches. Maybe we will fall in love with them too! THANKS for the info!!

knb,
We are real happy with our RZR. Like any 20 or 21 foot boat, you need alot of weight in the bow. Depending on the number of passengers, you can fine tune the weight for the rear.
Wake surf is fantastic.
Wakeboarding is perfect for intermediate riders. That is about the best we plan on achieving. I ride at 22 mph, TAPs at 4 and clear wake to wake. Boat holds 12, comfortably probably 8 adults. If you plan on alot of friends, may want an RZ2 if you can afford it.

Good luck!

[JreisRZR]

yea i forgot the more bow weight the better, if you can get 800LBs up fron and the 1200 in back witht the surf system the wake is perfect.

i think itll be more than enough wake unless youre planning on doing 1080's

[Knb]

Thanks. We won't be doing any 1080's. LOL. We will prolly add extra weight to it in the future. But until we get used to it we won't worry with the extra expense. THANKS so much for all your opinions. Makes the decision easier. We won't be purchasing a RZ2 unless we found a good used one. They are a tad out of our price range.

Tige RZ2

I've tested the RZR with both the pro and surf ballast. (The surf ballast is more than enough unless you're aggressively competing or working towards going on tour). If you're looking at a nicely priced RZ2 -try Waterski Specialty out of Denver. They currently have it below what I just paid for my RZR. If I would have known they were going to drop it below 65k then I would have held off on ordering my RZR - (the color scheme is kind of boring though - but its a new RZ2 cheaper than a brand new RZR.) I personally believe it also depends on how many people you're accustomed to taking on the lake on which boat you should buy. 7 people with everyone's gear is comfortable on the RZR. Anything more than that is just kind of annoying. Another huge bonus to the RZR is that it fits in most garages where as the RZ2 can be just a tad too long - unless you're going to take off the platform everytime you garage it.

Thanks yeah the RZR will be fine. Normally we have around 5-8 people when we are on the water. We really don't need a boat as big as the RZ2. It would be nice but we don't need it. I'm from TN so Denver would be a little far to drive. Thanks for your help though!
