Sorry guys. Was a bit of a late night. And an eventful one too! The weather was not cooperating most of the day. Actually, it was quite nice at my house, but my dealer is an hour away and the weather can vary quite a bit. So, we waited it out. Finally arrived at the dealer at 3:30 and then the lake by 4:30. Spent a half hour doing the break in then setup goofy. Tried the factory programmed setting. It doesn't fill the rear PNP's... fail. Checked out the engine compartment, found that all three pumps are installed upside down... major fail! The are labeled nicely though! Love that I can access the engine compartment with the PNP's full. Couldn't do that on the 14 FX22. Anyway, did a little tweaking to the settings and hopped in. Instant smile on my face. Little more tweaking. Bigger smile! Did some of my best surfing! Everyone else took turns surfing, all blown away by the wave and asking when the next sesh was happening! LOL. My son hopped in the water and instantly surfed as good or better than he did last year with a huge grin on his face! This alone was worth every penny the boat cost. Even the boats worst critic, my wife, was all smiles and said she's happy with the purchase. Then we noticed this little grey cloud approaching... instant crazy downpour of rain and wind! Boat got SOAKED! Either way, we all survived and we'll likely never forget it.

More pics to come. More good times to come!

Just out of curiosity, what prop does it have? And how much clearance at closest point? RPMs at surf configuration? Top speed?

[boatnut 230]

A definite thumbs up!!!!!!

Came with the 1847. Works alright. Top speed is only 36mph.

 

Thanks Frank

The boat looks great! We saw it headed to the dock at Alouette yesterday afternoon.
