First off - big thanks to Matt w/Tigeowners for the early morning pull.
The wake @ 21mph - 70 back w/stock ballast + 700ish was sweet. very solid, good ramp, good lip and lots of pop.
It had the 360 motor and it had no problem out of the hole and very strong. riding behind it sounds like a nice flowmaster exhaust system. In the boat when you gas it out of the hole it winds up like a jet engine and then takes off.....kinda cool actually.
the seat - mesh was comfortable to me... used the bolster and it almost put me too high. had to duck down to check the mirror.
Interior had good lay out and plenty of room. the back storage had room for 350's, but was a tad bit hard to situate do to the battry box in the storage. kinda wonder why they werent put under the observer seat.
Ballast filled quick and was easy to monitor by lifting the engine hatch you can see how full. the front just lift a cushion to see. Although I did hit the switches inadvertantly w/leg while driving. they may be better to be moved up high to dash area.
Tower was solid (Z model) and didnt move or make a bunch of noise. had swing racks, but just pulled boards off from the inside so didnt use them.
Speed set was easy to use and held good speed both while driving and while being pulled. The digital dash was easy to read.
Overall I was very impressed by this boat and it does handle very well and has a differnt feel to the wake than any other tige I have riden behind.
