Tige 2015 Z3 build with raptor 400

[JLG]

This is our Z3, We did the inside blue like yours and the graphite panel is going to be done in pearl. Instead of the mat we did the faux teak from sea deck. We're gonna do all the non skid in faux teak. This is our second Tige and we put over 500 hours on our RZ2 in two years.

FYI they have the seadeck under the Poseidon flooring it comes that way. The Poseidon is the only extra upgrade you pay for the use the sea deck under it to keep it from slipping etc. just a thought
That boat gone stand out also. I like it. Its hard to tell on the studio but will definitely shine when you get it.

JLG - thanks for the pics. What brand trailer do you have? I have a Boatmate on my '13 and the bunks don't stick out past the transom. Looks like they raised the VX just a tad so that it's no longer flush with the bottom of the hull, looks like maybe .5-1.0" offset?

I noticed they do sea deck as non skid under the mat. We're gonna do this sea deck. The G23 G25 started doing this and it looks really good. Plus easy to care for. This is a pic from the wetsounds Z3. It's gonna look great with the blue.

Sick boat - and I would not be worried about the raptor engine - those things are built tough. Does anyone know if the dealer can install that rubber seal around the Convex? What other things are different between the 2014's and 2015's?

jLG what did you do with your old boat?

[JLG]

cday, I have seen that demo boat and its badars. that seadeck will look awesome with your colors. kinda set the orange and blue off a bit to mellow them out so they flow smoothly. Yea the seadeck material below mine is just a basic design and doesn't have the teak wood look like the nautiques. buddy mine has it in his g25 and its nice on the feet and nice on the cleaning time!

Traded to dealer so I didn't have to pay so much for sales tax as you know KS makes us pay sales tax on difference from trade when buying from a dealer. If I were to buy from and individual I wouldn't have to pay sales tax on boat, and we are 8.55% here. I would have to really compensate or overprice to make up difference if I were to sell out right. He gave me an excellent trade price also. My old boat was sold instant from a guy that wanted it earlier this summer, and had several other guys want it over the reunion weekend. It was a clean boat when I was done with it.
I see you are from KS where are you located?

I am sure you can buy the material or a similar from a hardware store, but you won't have the tilt on VX and platform like the 15 model. I believe you can buy the new brackets to tilt your VX but don't hold me to that. Might check with your dealer or TIGE direct to see if it will fit and make a difference. The platform is a little taller to get onto when on the trailer, but sits perfectly when boat is in water or especially when weighted.

Its a boatmate trailer. I have mine loaded to the very front meaning the front eye hook on boat is resting against the front bow stop roller, possible yours isn't loaded this far or maybe they have extended the boards for some reason. I put my trailer in deep when I load anyway to not rub bottom of boat anymore than I have to. As far as gap Im not sure of tilt degree versus other versions but it is at least 1in up on back.

Yea KS is awesome isn't it? Lol not! Might give joe a call he takes trades all the time and will keep you on his short list if he gets something in just like he had my boat sold before it hit his lot. Or even Jake that works with him and lives in the KC area. Great guys to deal with and tell him I sent ya. I had looked at that 12 you are talking about for 6-8 months and really wanted it but it was a consignment and the owner a billionaire wouldn't lower price so I walked away. Not sure what it finally went for.

Great looking boat. I love the fact that they have gone to the larger pumps/hoses for the sacs. Is there a cross-over pump for the rear sacs?

No crossover that I can tell but everything is buried. If they prime right away fill time is around 8 min on rear and only a couple on front which don't have prime issues at all.

where do you see the larger pumps? those look like the same tsunami T-1200's i had in my Z1

[JLG]

Take that back there might be crossovers or a couple hoses at least going to ea bag from ea pump. They are the tsunami 1200 pumps. I can't trace all the hoses though as they are buried deep in this thing. I know that drain and fill time is very reasonable though.
