Ordered my Z3 as well Guma.. Congrats to both of us.. Cant wait.
I will post pic's as well once the build gets going. I have a little more time with colors but Tony from Tige helped me with colors when he was here in Denver a few weeks ago.
I'm Going with the same colors as the Z3 pictured here but Navy instead of the Red. I was gonna go white on the main panel but I really like the color Stone.. I might change my mind again. Picking the colors has been the hardest part of this process.

Guma the Z3 is going to be sweet. You really know how to pick awesome looking boats. Even at night and all dirty the Ve still looks great.

Cant wait for the production pics to come in.

Question: You say the Pro Ballast System as 2,300Lbs did they raise it for the z3 as I thought it was 2,000lbs? Or is that with the custom surf sacs installed? Just a question.
