My ego is as large as your ankles........... Do you in fact love that board more then anything you have ever ridden? If the answer is yes, then I will say you are welcome.

That wave is huge! I have a 15 Z3 as well, I need some help with my wave. I trailer my boat to and from the lake, do you leave all that lead in the boat when you trailer it?

It depends. If it's a short trip from our vacation home in Lake Havasu to the launch ramp and back (less than 10 miles total), yes, I leave it all in. If it's any more than that, I spread it around in the boat and truck. So for example, our recent trip to Lake Mead (over 100 miles), we left 150 in each locker, 350 on the floor of the boat over the axle, and the other 600 over the axle in the truck ('18 F150 3.5 ecoboost 4x4). We never went over 60 and provided plenty of space between us and the vehicle ahead. We had no issues. I don't think I would feel comfortable doing that on the regular, but once a year for the reunion - it was well worth it for us.

Thanks for the info.
Did you buy the GSA system from Germaine Marine? or did you buy it seperatley and have them install it? I have a 15' Z3, so I already have the Lenco actuators, so am just guess I'll need the plates and then the software update? I called them a few months back and they quoted me $4,000 to switch to TAPS3, I just wondering if the GSA conversion would be less $. Thanks
You may already have TAPS 3 on your screen. Go into dealer mode and see if you can switch between AVX and TAPS3 (don't actually do it). Next thing to do is check your actuators. They need to be the 2 1/4" travel units, not the 4" travel units. Not sure what AVX came with. After that you just need the new tabs and install. Really pretty easy.
Since you're local, I could help if you want/need it.
