Dialing it In

Yes, we run the alum platform on the Ve. We didn't feel the need to do this with the RZ2, the platform didn't cut into the wake. I will let you know.

Ragboy, when you get a chance give me a call about the platform on the VE I want to do the same on my V I have a huge problem with it cutting into the wake.

First post on this forum, here goes:

I joined this forum just so I could see the pics of this thread but I still can't see any of Ragboys' pics. I'm especially interested in those of page 3, the in progress and finished products. Do these pics no longer exist on the post or am I missing a setting or something?

This thread is 9 years old, most forum admins remove the photos from really old posts to save room on server drives.

What are you looking to do with your RZ4? I would start a whole new thread in General Discussion there is a ton of RZ owners here.

That was a long time ago, what are you looking for? This was before I started wake9.

The problem is photobucket for a lot of my photos. They changed their uploading to where you have to pay now if you want the image code. Guess they got too many pics to store.

Hi guys. Sorry for the late reply but I never got a notification of your replies. Guess I'll have to take a look at my settings.

I'm looking to reduce the wave face wash coming from the platform on my 2011 RZ4 and am thinking of cutting my deck or building a new one from scratch (fibreglass, AL, steel even?) so I was hoping to see the pics posted is why I was asking. I guess the old thread is the cause but that's okay.

Any advice here guys?

Are you running listed or evenly weighted with a surf system?

The swim step dragging is a common issue, there are a few fixes that are less extreme then cutting or re-designing a whole new platform

I think the new wave shapers also will divert the water away from the platform on the non-surfside. Might not be a bad idea to try a DIY suckgate or one of the many commercial versions available now. It would also let you run more weight and the biggest challenge with the RZ4 is getting enough weight in it to sink it enough.

I cut my teak platform down but if you have fiberglass, I would start with a suck gate and see if you get lucky.
