RZ4 winter projects complete! prop/ballast/flooring/custom swim deck

Thanks for the info. I'm a little heavier than you and have only really enjoyed that 5'1" Primo on a couple of dialed in waves. Hasn't had the speed on a few other boats. I knew when I could see that wave pushing you on that board that you've got it dialed in

No problem! Good luck setting her up.

Thanks man, appreciate it. That's exactly what I was thinking about the ballast... 80 lbs off the back is probably like 150 or more sitting on the floor in the cabin due to the leveraging effect.

Only thing to watch is how it reacts in chop. If the brackets have any "dance" in them you have a lot of force on there. It's the live force that kills brackets, not dead weight. My Z1 has play in the brackets and it's only a matter of time....

Your whole boat is awesome. I love seeing these refreshes. I still wish I had the vision air seat.

I'm way ahead of ya. I removed all the quick release hardware and installed all new stainless bolts on the brackets, as well as new stainless longer bolts with double lock-nuts for the set screws. She ain't rattling or budging at all.
