Thinking About A New Boat

[UNSTUCK]

Were thinking about selling our 15 Z3 with Avx...its a local boat

Local to me? Info?

I went and looked at the black and white f24 I posted up about. In a word... Loved it. The only downsides are the snap on cover and the seats. I can't believe this boat has all the options but they went with a snap on cover. I hate it. The seat bulster isn't very comfy. These aren't deal breakers but I will be keeping these in mind as I look as equally priced boats. I need more info on the supercharged motor. It makes me a bit nervous. I think I want it though. Copy Dakota set up and be done.

Its funny, I wish I had a snap on cover, and I would take the supercharged motor in a heartbeat! You want to work some kind of crazy swap? How many hours were on that pig?

Regarding the seat bolster, agree it is not the best. Here is what I did: I bought a surplus seat pedestal that is a couple inches taller. In fact, I wish I had even a couple more. From there, I sit on a throw cushion. Nice and high, just a bit over the windshield. I use the bolster only on rare occasions. I have even thought about getting some block foam and cutting a perfect fit thick cushion to keep on it. FWIW and IMHO, the factory driver seat is too low. The rest of the seats are great, and the upholstery is top notch.

I was talking more about the bolster around the cabin seats. Felt too high and put a lot of pressure on the back side of my thighs. I didn't mind the captains chair, but if felt like the flip up padding was coming apart from the frame. I hate buttons as they will fail in time. Both on the boat and on the cover. I just like the idea of tossing on the cover and then ratcheting it tight. I'm sure we could trade those.
I totally forgot to check the hours on the boat. It's not listed in the ad either. I'll find out today. I want to take my family over to look at it. It was parked right next to a Z3. I wanted to climb around both boats to get a good comparison but they wouldn't let me. The Z3 was not for sale, just in storage. So I can understand that. But being so close to both boats at the same time would have been a great help to me.

Eagerly awaiting this one.

Ahhh. Roger that on the bolster. Never noticed on mine, I am always firmly planted in the helm seat.

One of my local shops quoted me $50 per hole to fill in the gel coat holes from the button screws. My 21v has just short of 100 of them! Kind of a deal breaker for getting rid of the the snap covers.

Does anyone with a Z3 have the interior dimensions of the seating? How long is the observer's bench seat bottom, driver side bench seat bottom? How wide from backrest to backrest of those two benches? How high up from the floor are the seat? How tall are the backrests? How long and wide is the playpen at the widest/longest spots?

I took the family to look at the F24 last night. Two of my kids almost got lost inside of it! As I sat in all the different seats, I noticed the bolster is not that bad. When I sat on the observer's bench the first time, it felt really uncomfortable. This time I noticed it was just in that one spot, a foot or two back from the observer's seat. Seems the bench is a bit narrower at that spot than anywhere else. Everywhere else I sat felt fine. My wife really liked the driver's seat and helm. That's very important. She drives while I surf!

I can run by tonight and take some measurements, I need to get some stuff from my boat anyway.
