Grouch, is that a tige?
How do you like the wakes on those. I have heard good and bad. Just wondering your opinion

Yeah its the RZ4...

I love it, there is so much room and I went with a custom ballast and some of those lead bags.

The wake with the rear ballast half full is perfect for wakeskating & when I fill the rear completely and the front its huge for wakeboarding (which doesn't matter to me).

Grouch, Yeah i have a xstar with stock ballast and 4,000lbs extra. I heard it is sort of similar i just wanted to see what you thought. When i fill all my ballast it comes up to my nipples but im only like 5'4. BUt its way to big for skating with it all the way full

JIM-BRANTON, that wake sounds beautiful, never to big.

The TAPS system actually helps a lot as well. I can make the wake more rampy or vert if desired.

JIM-BRANTON, how many bags does your ballast have? I have a x2 and it has 3. jw wondering where they put the extra weight on those

Extra. i have 2 sacs in the back. two in the front and a 1000lbs sac down the center.

Both are great boats.
I prefer the xstar over the RZ4

lumpy pants, That thread was about how nice the weather in Australia gets when the northern hemisphere starts to get cold and it featured a picture of a tinny with a small tower... if the thread was about Americans talking about fat sacs and big wakes, then I wouldn't have moved the posts.

If the word sacs is too sexual for you, I suggest not looking in the non-wake sections, or reading any of Grouch's posts... Rolling Eyes

Lunch Sack, Potato Sack...those are not sexual & still have the word sack n them.

Now BALL SACK on the other hand

("ball sack on the other hand" sounds funny) Laughing

i'm pretty sure the x-star has about 900-1000lbs ballast factory and the fly high set up is a pair of 750's in the back and a pair of 750's under the front seats, all plumbed in.

My buddies have an inboard Tige with no ballast and I love the wake. It's not the biggest, but the shape of the wake is perfect! And its a really nice boat to drive. I rode behind a ZR4 loaded with weight in a contest this summer, and it sucked. wake was like a wall. way to steep,, maybe they had it weighed down wrong..
