08, 09, or 2010? New or used? How will the boat be used i.e. boarding, skiing, foot'n, surfing, all water sports, all around family boat for a day on the water? What size lake(s)? Spent some time in the Z1, great boat. Just about one of the best out-of-the-box surf wakes IMO, puts out a sweet wake with as little as 700lbs in the rear corner and nice pocket with about 300lbs in the bow. For boarding, sac it out as much as you need/want, but keep it at a 60/40 rr/ft split, the Z1 really likes the bow weight. I have driven both a Z1 and 22Ve with the MP 325 and could not tell the diff from the MP 340, until the boat was loaded, but a simple prop change fixes that like most other tow boats. But, I have not been in one with the PCM 275 (offered in 09) although one rep said it had the torque of the PM 325, but I dont recall what prop it actually had. Without demo'ing one with the PCM 275, I would have to say go with the 343.
