I picked up a new Hyperlite Landlock at the local boat show for $189

74K for a decked out RZ2 is a STEAL!!!!!!!!!!! Ask DCSNOWWAKE what he paid for his............now remember he put about a 7500 sound system in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys should come down here to Tige Watersports. Boat Show special was $60,900 for a boat with 340HP engine, bow cushion, table, speed set, bimini, cover, and all of the the standard goodies on the RZ2. That is also with an Alpine HU and 4 Alipine speakers. Choice of Xplosion Tower or Tige E tower (swivel racks are more). I spent more on the swivel racks $250, pistion on the Vision Air seat ($200?) , Prop guard on trailer (a must with the extreme trailer) $125 and spent a few extra on the bimini with quick release and SS ends ($300) mounted to the tower only. Plus extra pull cleats in the middle of the boat. So now we are just above $63. I did the stereo on my own and lets say I went a little crazy there, but well worth it to me. Tax and delivery charges are close to $5000, but is if you are doing an OTD price.

The Epic has 2 rudders. Has ANYONE seen a decent surf wake on the RZ2? So far, everything I've seen is POOR at best. The Shape of the hull, with the concave seems to wreck the surf wake.

Can someone post a picture of a gorgeous port side wake with a clean face and 20 foot long pocket?

[Surfdad]

Maybe I wasn't clear - a picture of the RZ2 wake? I've surfed an enzo and a 'bu before.

[NICKYPOO]

No, you were clear Jeff. What was the main thing on your mind when you were 14? I know what was on my mind at that age.

Talked to Sean Walzer today. He's shipping my new board out tomorrow. WooHoo!

[Surfdad]

LOL! I'm glad I'm not losing my mind. You'll have to post pictures of the Walzer when it arrives, what color did you go with? Are you getting a resin smear scheme on the bottom?

[NICKYPOO]

Yes, I will definately post some pics. It's going to be white and blue. I'm going with the resin smear. I told him I wanted to test his fade skills with a white main with a blue stripe down the center. We'll see. Sean is a really nice guy and great to work with. It's my first custom board and I hope I made all the right choices. Graphics are really the least of my concerns, but I did want it to match the boat.

[Moki]

Surfdad and Nickypoo,
I hope to be at that level the next summer to move up to a quicker board.

Surfdad,
How are you filling up your ballast? Did you do the rival (or something similar) or are you using hand held pumps? Also, I know it is in a thread somewhere, so tell me to go look if you don't have it memorized, but where did you get your bags in the locker and what are you using in the rest of the boat?

Like I said before....smokin deal!

Hey Moki,

I have one custom sac that the folks from Fly High made for me. It's the same basic concept as their Enzo sac, only made to my dimensions. Nice sac, if a bit expensive.

I had the folks from make-a-wake.com make up one of their original ballast systems for me. The heart of it is a reversible jabsco industrial pump. I always carry a Tsunami pump as a backup in case of failure, but so far haven't had to use it. The industrial pump is rated for something ridiculous like 5,000 gph. Don't quote me on that though.

The system has 1" ID tubing. When I first installed the system, I just tossed the length of tubing over the side and filled while stationary. Subsequent mod's included a thru hull and seacock.

The sac expands to cover every square inch of the rear locker, up under the bench seat to where it stops at the cooler under the observer's seat.

The only other ballast we have is about 75 pounds in the bow. I have played with lead on the opposite side to knock the lip of the wake, but it's a pain if we have different people in the boat that day.

People ballast is typically just the family and my buddy Dennis who weighs in at 260 - we put him in the back corner.

When we ballast the "dark side" I have a custom sac that fills up the rear locker and then we stuff a side sac in the small opening in front of the rear locker. For this side we use the Tsunami pump. I have a plan get a custom sac made up for the "dark side" and plumb the existing system with a manual diverter valve...but I'd like to be able to empty one sac into the OTHER sac, or out of the boat...so...that's in the future (maybe )

[Coach]

I am new to the surf deal. But with taps between 4-6 it cleans up very well but I am still waiting on 700 lbs of sacs to really see what we can do. When I do it I will take some pics

ROFLMAO
I teach all Freshman for 3 periods a day. They are an annoying group. I compare them to new puppies. They piss on the ground a few time and get swatted then they figure it out. Problem with 14 year old is they think they have it figured out.
