My third Tige. NEW RZ2!! WOW!!
I couldn't take it any longer, have to show the new RZ2. Bought from Lee at Ski Hut in middle TN. Can not imagine a better dealer anywhere. Thanks Lee. The picture is borrowed from his website. Shows boat but without the tower speakers. The stereo that Lee and his staff installed is awesome (Thanks Jeff!!). 
I traded an '03 22v. Thought I would go through the pros an cons of the new boat and see what comments the rest of you might have. (For pt. of reference I have the 340hp engine and factory ballast. '03 had 315hp and custom ballast by Lee. Rival type system with scoop and gate)
1-Wakeboard wake is substantially better. Smoother, easier to clean up, and much more crisp lip.
2-Power out of the hole is much better. Faster plane and just all out more power.
3-Factory ballast sucks so far. I am having the same vapor lock problem as everybody else. Any fixes yet?? Also, your knee will hit the switches. Bad location.
4-Mesh seat rocks!!
5-Surf wake does not compare to '03. I am still working on finding a good combo but it appears that factory ballast, etc. is not going to do it. The '03 with only my wife and 5 yr old in the boat would throw a big enough wake (with ballast) that I could easily do spins etc. I struggle to get a big enough and clean enough wake to simply surf with the RZ.
This is only preliminary findings- stay tuned for updates as I try to find ways for improvement.
6-Factory ballast causes a lot of loss of space in rear storage. Can't fit wakeboard or surfboard in there any more.
7-Handling is superb!!
8-A major head turner!! Everyone looks!
IMHO, AWESOME boat with only a few fixable issues to work out. How do you like!!
