Timmy your Z3 might be reality

[Timmy!]

I replied to you Jeb...

[Timmy!]

Anyone ever driven one with the PCM ZR450? You can probably load that one down pretty good!

[skippabcool]

Was able to check out the new Z3 in person. Thanks Nick.

Tons of space in the boat. It is really nice.

[Timmy!]

Pretty sweet, huh? I got in it and moved around and thought it wasn't that much bigger than my RZ2 so then I went and sat in the RZ2 and felt the difference. It's deceiving because you sit so far down in it.

Big Eric,


I vote either Pic 3 or 5!!! Gotta love the black and white!!! But also that black and blue is SICKKKKK

Those are my two favorites as well Nick!! Great minds!! Think alike!!

I call BS on the whole theory that bigger engines are going to burn less or equal fuel. That idea seems to usually be touted by sales people who make money selling more expensive boats.

Well just like in the trucking industry a motor with a bigger displacement is going to have more torque. More torque means moving move mass or the same mass easier. There is no possibility that this isn't the case. So if I am running 4,000lbs of ballast with my 5.7L it will be working a lot harder then my 6.0L running 4,000lbs. The more RPM the worse the economy. Bottom line is the 5.7L with weight is going to hit higher RPM's no matter what.

No to mention the internal stress/wear and tear your applying to the 5.7L will be more then the 6.0L as well. Will it be enough to notice down the road....I dont know not many owners own there boat long enough to see. My Hope this helps.

I built a few other color combos that I like...

Any opinions on the clamp down board racks? Is this standard on the Z3?
Do they lock when stowed inboard? I can not find any information on the Tige web site if these fit the STD Alpha Z tower along with cost.

I think Timmy has the bug.

I love that black, gray and red one!

[IDBoating]

I love that black, gray and red one!

That's my favorite of those two as well, but I'd go with a different color on the tower. Red would look awesome, I bet!

[Timmy!]

I like the metallic silver towers, they look sweet in person.

They are not standard on the Z3, and they are very pricey. I am on the fence on whether or not to get them, but having a single lever to pull to get to my boards instead of the bungees is really nice! Also, Tony at Forte's told me that the clamps will automatically adjust the tension for a wake board in the bottom and a surf board in the top. This way you don't dimple your surf board with too much pressure from the clamp.

I don't know if they lock when they are pulled in. If I understand you question, yes the new clamp style board racks fit the Alpha Z tower.
