Overdue pics of my '08 RZ4

[jbf]

I've posted a handful of times w/ questions about my '08 RZ4 and you guys have been awesome about getting back to me w/ answers...w/ one request--u wanted to see some pics. So, I took a few a few weeks back that I just got--they aren't great b/c it's a bit hard to see the boat in it's entirety b/c it was in the water, but I'm picking it up from it's 20-wk service this weekend, so I'll try to get some better ones. That said, here they are...

Yeah, yeah, was waiting for some "dang yankee" type comment! We actually do board quite a bit -- my wife, brothers-in-law & sister-in-law even went so far as to go to a Darren Shapiro camp a few yrs back...sadly, they are all much better'n me! The boys do flips, 360's...all the crazy stuff...as for me...well, I'm still learnin'...I'll put it to you this way: the boat we had prior to the RZ4 was a 2,000lb yamaha jet boat, so needless to say the wake was not quite the same...1st time I went off the RZ4's wake w/ the ballast... !!! I didn't land so smoothly...think i gave myself a concussion! Along those lines, the boys were telling me not to be timid w/ a big wake, that if u get after it and extend your legs as you are taking off, it should throw u into the flats where is smoother/easier to land...that true? Or are they trying to see how bad I can hurt myself?

with advice like that, I am investing in a medical supply company tomorrow when the market opens.

It will throw you out there, its better to start small and then go big.

If you have the skill (can't imagine you do from the post) it's best/softest to land on the down side of the opposite wake vs the flats. The flat landings are a little harder on the body IMHO. It's a whole lot easier to just launch into the flats though if your wake is big.

I agree 100%

Cool looking boat. I have graphite on my boat too. How long is the boating season there?
