2018 rzx3

[tonka8ty]

I am buying a 2018 rzx3 from Germaine in Provo I wanted to know how to weight it I have a 1000 pounds of lead. It does not have PNP in it. I am picking it up on June 1 and headed to Lake Powell for vacation. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It does not have PNP in it.

Does not have the PnP option or does not yet have the aftermarket sacs installed? If the boat has the PnP plumbing option, check the Fly High W502 kit. Services both sides.

If you don’t want to use pnp I’d put 300 now and spread the rest across the back

It is plumed just no sacks

[Germaine Marine]

All bags full, including 560 PNP rear.

400 mid ship in the lockers each side (800 total) and 200 Lbs in the bow as far forward as possible.

I did not have pnp

[Germaine Marine]

Get 560 PNp bags from adam

Did you get one of their stock boats or did you build one?

Stock

If at all possible, I would never buy a new boat and then head to a remote, expensive vacation without running it a time or two on my home lake. These boats are hand built, and often have problems. I believe the dealer is supposed to take it out and have a checklist to go over, but based on my readings on these forums, the dealer often does not do it, or things pop up a little later than that.

I am sure that Germaine will take care of you in the end, but if you can't take it out, make sure they do a good lake test for you. I am sure Elevated or another will chime in if I am off base on the dealer checklist.

1000 pounds of lead is quite a bit extra to be trailering with, a flat tire (or worse) near Hanksville in June is not any fun at all. Pretty much every tire I have seen on every boat is very close to stated capacity without the lead. When I've run lead, I usually take it out when driving 150 miles in the 110 degree heat. There is no shortage of people ballast whenever I've gone to Lake Powell.

Good times are in store for the Tonka family!

So brand new boat, no break in, 1000lbs of lead, and surfing for a few days.

Your call man, but I'd at least try to get 5-10 hours on it first.

[tonka8ty]

The dealer is going to put some hours on it before I pick it up

[Germaine Marine]

I'll be there on Wednesday Tonk and ill go through it. Ill have some down time between fixing an ASR maybe I can get out with Adam and put it through the paces for ya. 714-306-3999 rings me direct.
