Tige 2015 Z3 build with raptor 400

[Z1Fan]

the bag are definately larger then before, hoses look to be 1-1/4" as before, but if there is crossovers, that would make fill times wicked, what about up front?

The surf x ballast is like Enzo sacs, no cross over pumps or larger pumps. They are Tsunami 1200's same as late 13's

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.

JLG - I see from one of the pics above that the rear bags come forward under the side seats. How far forward to they go, and also how tall is the section in the locker when they are full? Is it just about to the top of the locker? If I'm doing the math correctly, for the total system to be 3000#, the SurfX adds 350# per side in the rear....making each rear side 950# vs the 600# in the pro ballast system. If the section of the bag in the locker is as tall as the locker, it seems like those bags would hold more than 700# each (+ 250# in the under-floor tank to get the 950# per side).

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

I believe my '11 has the 800's. And those hoses look bigger too. I just put the plug-n-play custom L-sac (from MLA) in mine, and it takes 16 minutes to fill the rear on that side. Love the sac (thanks Mike) but hate the fill time.

My Z1 had the 1200's and the larger hoses already

They fill to top of locker and completely fill area under side seats to about halfway front locker. Not sure on weight of ea of em but know they put out a crazy wave. I have the custom sacs from MLA that I had in my other boat and was planning on installing them but after surfing it I have no reason to put more weight in it as its plenty and fill/drain times aren't bad. We surfed with just my wife and I and our small kids and this thing throws an amazing wave! My 22ve required a lot of weight to do anywhere near this and I still don't think it was as big as this wave. On the tige site it shows the old setup for the 14 model so not sure of weight until they release the figures but guarantee it is weighted a lot more than the 14 and it won't disappoint.

Looks like the Raptor motors all have closed loop cooling? No info anywhere on them.

JLG, what prop is on that bad boy from factory??

acme 2419. Top end 35.2 on glass and gets there fast! Wish it had a little more top end but can switch later.

Those sacs in your build pic look way bigger then 700 lbs, my $.02. I would love to see the approximate dimensions.

I thought the sacs were supposed to be 850, but I could be wrong.

What is the list price increase for the 2015 over the 2014
Is there only two motor options?

I thought the sacs were supposed to be 850, but I could be wrong.

Fronts should be 550# each, for 1,100# (unless they reduced the bow weight which would be a bad move), rear tanks are 250# each, so the bags would have to be 700# each to total 3,000# (if 3000# is the right total figure). I agree though that the bags look bigger than that based on how far forward they come, and JLG's description that they fill to the top of the locker.
