Couple new pics of my RZ2

finally got a few pics of my RZ2 in the water!

Nice boat... What took you so long????

Nice color scheme.

Good looking ride . . . what's the verdict on performance, ride, finish, and wake, now that you've had it for a while?

I give everything a 10 at this point. I've had it for just about 2 months now and put 22 hours on it and have 0 warranty issues with it. The ride is AMAZING! The stock wake is big enough for my ability, but we did just add the v-drive Fly High sacks for surfing and will probably get some more ballast to position around the boat to make a little better surf wake.

NICE ride!!!!

How's the wake??

That's a sharp boat. Congrats

Daymmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love the color combo!!

Very clean looking boat. I like the lines.

very nice boat congrats.

thsoe colors look great together, but tige needs to fire the person in charge of their graphics. I think they may have stolen Buick's lead graphic designer.

Nice! im really starting to like that boat..

damn thats a nice looking boat!!

Sam, I am not happy with the RZ graphic either. However, Tige's other boats, the graphics look nice. I am not sure what they were thinking when they did the graphics for the RZ. But, you can remove the graphics if you like.

I love the graphics but I do wish they gave you some other choices like their Riders Edition graphic or West Coast that were for this boat.

post up the wake and surf pics. im looking at one myself

here is a surf pic...

Rider is 6'1"
Hopefully the pic does it justice! This is with 600lbs in the rear locker and 4 people in the boat.

Here ya go, this is with 550 in one locker and 250 ish in the other with 3 adults on the starboard side.






The wakeboarding picture is with 250ish in each locker with taps at 4.

That might be the worst picture of a wake ive ever seen. got any others? just a clean wake we can see all the way back?

"That might be the worst picture of a wake ive ever seen. got any others? just a clean wake we can see all the way back?"

Wow, sorry to disappoint you...These are the first pics we've been able to take, been too busy riding behind the new boat to take pics of the wake.

I wasn't trying to be rude!! Chill out dude. If you think thats a good wake pic your crazy though.
"been too busy riding behind the new boat to take pics of the wake."
Ummmmmmm apparently not that looks like a wake pic to me just not a good one.

Funny

look at the difference.

Sorry bro, don't have any full width pics!

sooooooo it appears you missed the point of my picture comparison look at my starboard wake vs yours which is a better wake pic?

Sick boat!!

i don't know why you guys don't like those graphics i think they look sick.

i think that the wake look really small in the last picture is it ?

Radikal- Are you saying my wake is small???
I don't think so it's the same wake as my profile pic, and it's an 06 VLX stock ballast with 3 peeps in the boat and not using the wedge sooo. I wouldn't call it small considering you have a seadoo, but it definitely gets much larger than that pic

You're killing me dog

VLX with stock ballast & 3 people is small. Sorry to disappoint. From the looks of things, Timmy's picture was taken in some rough ass water and thus the wake looks all whacky. Sick looking boat, I really want to give an RZ2 a ride.

Well Big heav with the right technique you shouldn't need the biggest wake on the lake... maybe work on your technique

Tim, keep posting those wake pics. ad it down and when you get some post them. Im workign a deal on a rz2 now. hopefully we can get the numbers right. I want to surf and ski behind it before i buy it though

Big heavy is smoking crack.

Heavy- Never once did I call Timmys wake small I simply said it was a crappy PICTURE of his wake... and would love to see a good PICTURE of his wake. Perhaps even the specs on weight he's running. And if you honostly think a VLX wake with stock ballast and 3 peeps is small maybe you should check out an X-1 X-2 X-Star stock, or any other boats for that matter(their wake is definitely "small" when stock(VLX I'd say is pretty damn good stock and i thought that before we had one)call it ownership googles if you will I don't care I get to weigh it however I like. I could throw the wedge down and it could be even bigger point is it is hard to beat a VLX wake stock. And I'm sure dozens of others agree on that point. But that's not why were here. I'm here to see an RZ2 wake which hasn't really shown up yet.

I'll see if I can get some better pics later this week, wasn't able to go out this weekend because I hurt my back earlier in the week. The RZ2 definitely doesn't throw the biggest wake out there. It's alright for a non-ballast wake and once we put the V-drive sacks in the lockers it did make a much steeper ramp on it. This is only my 3rd season of riding so I have a lot to learn and honestly don't have the skills to ride a huge wake.

Timmy!- I'm right there with ya. I'm ok skill wise and enjoy stacking the weight to boot myself occasionally but a nice tall ramp is prefferable to my tastes.

No crack, just difference of opinion. Yes a stock VLX is small, better than many but still small. I ride a VLX at least once a week. Why test a boat stock if I will never ride it that way? No, my technique is very good, thanks.

Timmy, good luck with the back. Get out & ride that beast!! Don't worry about wake pics, no need to justify anything to us, it looks like its doing exactly what it should. Getting used! Good choice & sweet colors, she looks real clean.

Wow so Big Heav - youre basically just trying to be a big D-Bag by calling my wake small!! Maybe you don't get it... now you're being rude I'd love to give Timmy nubu any of these guys a pull cause they share the stoke for a boat and a sport but not you!! PS your S#it does stink and the wake in your pic may be really vertical but that doesn't make it big

I agree with Big Heavy.

I rode a SLAMMED RZ. The wake was big a meaty.

Am I supposed to be suprised?

why is it that someone always has to jump in and piss on someones glory ??? Here is a guy ( timmy ) who is stoked about his new ride , and he has a good reason to be . Then you get some one like tyler who thinks his wake is better ( who gives a dam ) , and thinks he has to be the bigger man and shoot down this guys wake pic . Way to show off that brotherly wakeboarding community attitude !!!

Jeremy where did I tear Timmys wake down? Once again just asked for a better pic! Thought we were all clear on that? Atleast Timmy and I are I believe. Brotherly????? Dude your on the internet it's not a family.

I don't see why everyone is offended. Some people just have a different idea of what constitutes a "big wake." If you tell someone your wake is big, you should probably keep that in mind.

Like I said, I rode a slammed RZ and it was awesome. With only the stock ballast, like every other boat, it would not be awesome by my standards.

Haha! Here we go again! It always turns into who has the bigger one!! Nice boat Timmy! Black with grey is cool and that seems to be one of the "in" colors this year. Congrats on your RZ!

Regarding wakes, totally agree w/ Heavy & J-Rod. Heavy has been served up some XXL wakes, he knows how big they can get.

"If you have only eaten at McDonald's all your life, how are you gonna know what In-n-Out tastes like?"

Tyler , your comment just came off a little harsh and it was easy to see why his wake looked like crap, if you look at the rough water in the pic .

And yes , even though this is the internet , the wakeboarding community worldwide is kinda like brotherhood . But then again , all brothers fight once in a while

Everybody calm down, I'm not offended by anyone's comments!

Since everyone is talking about the RZ2 wake, I thought I would post a picture. This one has been posted a few times since I haven't taken a decent picture of my wake since then. This wake is with about 1500-1600 pounds of ballast, 22.6mph, 70ft out and the rider is 6ft. I just got the boat in this picture so it isn’t slammed to full capacity. Anyway didn’t want to take away from Timmys post, sweet boat Timmy!

JRod- "I don't see why everyone is offended. Some people just have a different idea of what constitutes a "big wake." If you tell someone your wake is big, you should probably keep that in mind."
Who here said "my wake is big" not me!!! I musta missed that post ya'll need to mellow out and read what i wrote. The only thing ive bashed in this thread is the picture.

Tyler, nobody said "my wake is big"...you got upset when sombody said your wake is small...

BTW - you would do well to avoid the name calling.

Seriously this wake isn't worth arguing about, this is the above picture right. Look how curled the top of the wake is almost all the way back, and looks very mushy at the top.

The wake is good actually; just very different. The wake starts out super rampy, and then ends with a huge lip at the top. It looks like it is going to roll over and wash, but it doesn't unless the boat is off balance

Tyler do you actually own your boat???? You were talking smack when you said

"I wouldn't call it small considering you have a seadoo, but it definitely gets much larger than that pic"------ no that is talking ish..

and to a fellow early 20's rider nonetheless, who may have paid for his ride. I get you were just wanting to see wake pics, but try a different approach and attitude towards it.

Love the boat Timmy! Congrats!

nice
