About to buy a 2017 S238...I have some questions

I vote opt for the extra weight. Weight makes a better wave, pushier and easier to stay in the pocket. Your wife and kids will appreciate the extra push when trying to learn. Weight is most important factor to pushing a wave. You will want the weight, guaranteed. You asked, that's my advice. Good luck with your purchase

I hear you all. Just still not sure. Not paying maintenance or winterization costs for the first year AND still being able to surf sounds good to me. I 100% understand the wave may not be anywhere near it's full potential and most of you are looking for a huge wave. I'm sure I will be as well but I'm also thinking I will be content for the first summer. Especially since I will most likely have other people in the boat most of the time. So, the added people should help...

 

I'm still on the fence but I am leaning towards the winterization a bit more based on the above. Also, as I said, I can probably surf the boat with the dealer and then decide which I want maybe even a month after having the boat. SOOOO, maybe that will help me decide. When the dealer couldn't really help on the price any more than they did already, he threw these 2 options in which was a nice gesture and added value($1200) to the deal.

 

Thanks again. I'm super psyched for winter to come and go. I'm going to be thinking about wake surfing while I'm using my snow blower, freezing my butt off! haha

Mark my words, before you hit 25 hours you're going to be saying to yourself "how can I make the wave bigger". No one escapes... :laughing:

HAHA...If so then so be it. I have time to decide. the boat should get in the water in May. I'll take May and June and figure it out.

Yeah, I would like to re-visit this thread in June.

 

I say if the dealer really wants to make a sale he will throw in both options! It's winter for crying out loud!

The new 2017 sumo sac 1000# bag looks nice and about the same size as a fly high 750# and on sale today @ WM. Just saying!

 

Hey @ MFaso what do you think of the Supreme Friction Flooring. I am leaning this route if I build out a new one. Never seen it in person though. I like the carpet and gator but my kids need chips, pop and candy to stay happy whist we surf, so I think the friction floor is the most maintenance free option.

Hi! I'm in the exact same boat(Literally?) haha I walked on it barefoot and got up close and checked it out. It looks like a black rug. It doesn't soak up ANY water at all. It's basically a soft plastic rug. Looks nice too because the bimini for these boats only come in black and the flooring is also black. I have my tower white. Anyway, my kids are always eating chips popcorn and other stuff on the boat. It's all about the snacks. My wife and I both thought the same thing, and when we got into the car and spoke about it, somehow we were on the same page without disagreeing!(Crazy, right? lol) It's one piece. unbutton it and shake it out and put it back. It seems really simple. We are also looking at a cordless rechargeable wet/dry hand vac. They sell them at home depot and on amazon. We figured it was a good investment(they are cheap anyway) for the boat floor.

 

The RUG option for me, with kids is just out of the question. I also don't really want anything that's going to soak up water. My kids are CONSTANTLY in and out of the water. They have 2 WET towels by the end of the day and sometimes take mine too so I'm drying off with a wet towel.(not a huge problem when it's hot) Or, I drip dry most of the time anyway. I don't want wet spots all over.

 

The gator is nice looking but it's also not great for the kids in my opinion. Once you stain it, you aren't going to get the marks off without really scrubbing it, which in time is going to make those spots look bad.

 

All in all, the standard black snap in friction flooring is an awesome option. My last boat had non slip flooring, which was white and it got dirty quick. I was always out there washing it down when everyone was in the water. Made the boat smell nice but it was a pain to always keep clean. the littlest dirt even on the bottom of someone's feet mixed with water and there would be a spot.

 

Hope this helps. The standard flooring was really a no brainer for us because we felt it was an upgrade from our last boat. I'd also like to think if it even needed to be replaced, it would be the cheapest to replace.(Let's hope that doesn't happen though!)

Do you think that 1000#er will fit in the rears? I wouldn't upgrade your floors until the kids are older, my 2 cents

How do these upgraded sacks work with the screen technology. Doesn't it foul up the % full? I mean 50% may not be 50% anymore. Just thinking about this. I know it's new to supreme but surely other boats have similar measurements and upgraded sacks. Or, are you guys just filling them EVERY time anyway so it doesn't matter that the screen readings aren't spot on after upgrading?

 

Hope that made sense.(How do you know when the tanks are full? Can they burst if you leave them running and not watch?)

The percentages are based on timers.

 

All you have to do is to figure out how long it takes for the pumps to fill/drain your new bags, reset the timers and boom, percentages are adjusted for new bags.

The percentage is based off of fill and drain times which are adjustable. So if you go with larger sacks, you up the time limits and the percentages will still read correctly. If your fill time is 3 minutes you'll see 50% 1 minute and 30 seconds in to it.

 

Are the 17s wired to a touch screen? I thought the 16s where just rockers and you watched the thru-hull overflows to know when to kill the fill and drain.

Seems like they should fit nice. They are same length as the Fly High 750 but 2" more in width and height. This is all theoretical though.

Thanks - Helpful and well thought out. Good idea on the mini vacuum. I hate lugging out my shop vac to clean the boat. Now to find a 12v with dyson like preformance.

Bingo! I think by the fourth trip out, I was searching for locker bags for my boat. That would have been about 16 hours.

750's fit very nice..pic below. I was reluctant to step up to the 1100's as I've had divider issues in the past with other boats, even after reinforcing them. I may try the 1000's as I could probably sneak in a little more water, but I'll be kicking myself if I have divider issues.

Is this the same size in the 2017s? How do we find out if the back lockers are the same depth, width, height? or is it already known?

not quite Dyson like, but works pretty good, folds up, and has a storage bag:

this seems to be the newer model of it:

I don't think that's wet/dry. Dry only. Gotta have wet dry. :)

      I see Lamb80782 had the same remove the driver seat as I am having.
      I didn't see the ulitmate solution.  I think removing "stop" would be the solution but am unable to see very well under the seat.  Has anyone come up with the solution?
      I also am reoving to have re-uphostered.  Itried removing the black access cover but it is very tight under there and not enough room for a regular wrench.  May try a 1/4 rachet drive.
