My RZ2 with '09 platform - Wake is dialed in!

What a difference the smaller platform makes!

That face looks clean as hell Sweet!

Looks much better, looks great. There is still a line you see in the wake, which I also had, which came from my deck, you can see in this picture, and others on left side.



But if it doesn't effect you, and doesn't bother you, you are good to go. I didn't eliminate that until I went 100% smooth on bottom of deck.

wake looks like a monster, awesome job

Awesome.

Looks sweet. What kind of ballest setup do you use to surf?

[Timmy!]

Does it surf any different? That's the real question. I think I am going to make one out of marine grade plywood and coat with the truck bedliner stuff to test. I was thinking of making mine with rounded corners like ragboy did.

How much weight are you putting in?

I have a Teak deck from a 22v on mine while awaiting my 09 deck. What a difference is right!

I am using less weight, and have such an amazing wave that I am just in love with it.. not sure if I even want to go to the new deck.

Here is my set up:

*about 1100 in the starboard rear locker ( factory tank, 600 Fat sac and a Vdrive sac on top filled until the hatch can close)
*V drive sac on starboard floor side
*front factory ballast full.

Taps @ 4 and a speed of 11.6

That's less weight? Damn, that is still a lot.

Make sure you use throughbolts with wood, or the step will rip right off the first time you pull up and the wave comes up the back. Found that out the hard way. ;-)

That's what I had planned on because I wasn't sure if wood screws would be enough. Thanks for the pointer and taking one for the team on that one!

Regular
Put one of the V-drive sacs (550) on the starboard side rear compartment. Also add an V-drive size (550) bag under the passenger seat and then an additional V-drive size (550) bag on top of the passenger seat. I have a 500 lb u shape in the front and then I have a 250 lb tank in the port rear
- Set taps to 6

Approx 2400 pounds...

Wooooow, im gonna need to buy more sacs to keep up with you guys.
