So I've been trying every boat out there on our lake. Had pretty much decided on a Supra SE 450 and had talked rough #'s trade in value, floor price vs MSRP. Went to deal this weekend and everything we talked about out the window. I honestly felt sorry for the salesman, he had to feel like such an a**hole. They offered MSRP and partial trade in. So I gave them my numbers, the same #'s the other dealerships were giving me and have not heard back. So back to drawing board...the Z3 was the first boat I demoed and couldn't really remember it. Went out today in a 2015 Z3 with the surf XL ballast, no VX or AVX. Could slalom ski behind the boat, the wake board wake was fine at 19 mph for the kids, not nearly as nice as the G23 or the SE 450 but nicer than the X23 maybe a little behind the X30. So far all fine. Then we surf. My son kept pearling the nose, which was a little surprising as he typically rides for a long time and can recover from way back, I can't think of the last time I saw him bury the nose like that, let alone multiple times in a row. So then I went out and had the same problems. So discouraged. There was a huge soft spot that just couldn't be avoided. The nose would just sink. I was hoping to find a worse case scenario that was still acceptable and hoping that the boat with surf system I ordered to be way better. I'm leaning towards the TAPS 3 if I order one. Any feed back, suggestions greatly appreciated.
