WakeWorld - Wakecraft Reviews

I own one. 3 different models this year all with the same hull just different drive set up or options. We have a ZR6 its a 2007 and has all the bells and whistles one could hope for all included. This year they have come out with a DD which is the same hull and ski's very well from what I have heard. All I pretty much do is surf behind ours and several friends of mine love the wakeboard wake it throws. I have several pic's I can send you just PM me. Also they are building the ZRWake which is a more "GI" model of the ZR6. It will have the 343 from PCM ballast etc but will have a more basic trailer, no heater, shower, different tower, no racks and I dont even think it will have a stereo. If you are into the boat and want to add your own stereo then I would recommend the cheaper ZR Wake. This way you can throw whatever tower you want on it and a much broader choice in tower speaker set up. It still has the 64 gallon fuel tank, dock lights, dual gas fills etc. I haven’t skied yet behind ours but have pulled a competitive water skier at 35 22 off and he liked it. Obviously its not going to be a completely flat wake but it definitely is a good recreational ski wake. As long as you ski 33+ mph you would probably like this boat for all your needs. Its been very reliable and have had no problems with mine, but then again I wouldn’t expect to with a new boat. The surfing is great, I’m no pro though and only have done this for a season now but was free of the rope my first time up. The wake with just standard ballast is ok but once you add a few hundred in the back locker and throw everyone onto the side you surf it gets much more vert. We will be experimenting in the next couple weeks when we get out with moving more weight around the boat to lengthen the pocket a bit but as is its pretty darn good. With the hull design the prop wash doesn’t have a noticeable effect on the wake weather you are regular or goofy. Its a fun boat that gives you some extra options other boats companies don’t offer. Your gel scheme is up to you and so is the interior vinyl designs etc. Cant beat the warrantee either and the customer service you get from David and Paul is second to none. Check out Wakeboard Magazines Virtual test drive to get more detailed info. Do know that some of the info on that review isn’t accurate i.e., board rack weather surf or wakeboard do swivel, and the new PCM ZR 6 is 409 hp closed cooling not the 375 closed cooling that the 2007's came with. Here is the link <a href="http://www.wakeboardingmag.com/VTD/2008/WakeCraft/index.html?manufacture=1&boat=1" target="_blank">http://www.wakeboardingmag.com/VTD/2008/WakeCraft/index.html?manufacture=1&boat=1</a> It handles very good and is a great riding boat. Very responsive and it seems as though we never run out of gas! If you don’t get the custom inline silencers for the exhaust then the side corsa style exhaust may be a bit loud (easy fix though), may not even be a big problem with the new PCM Catanium system. They are coming with a full ARC Audio system now instead of Polk (including the amps and sub). Im not affiliated with them just a proud and happy Wakecraft owner. Let me know if you ever want to take ours out for a spin. (Message edited by deltaboy on March 19, 2008)
