Nice boat.

I put our SV244 on the scales with 2/3rds of a tank of gas plus a tool kit but no gear and it totalled 7200#’s.

A boat with the engine in the rear (v-drive) will almost always surf better than a ski boat with the engine in the middle. Longer boats tend to produce better wakes as well but do require more ballast.

I had a 2014 SV244 with a 409 and it was a great boat. If you opt for the smaller engine it can be re-propped to perform at your elevation. My boat did not have Ramfill but did have CATS, which is really nice option to firm up the wake if your wakesurf crew is small. The early years of Ramfill have valve issues but there is a solution (search this forum) if you go that way.

I always make an offer and usually it’s asking for more than 10% off the listed price. Worst thing they can say is no, best case is a counter offer. I would give it a couple days and call the salesman and see if he received your offer.

I traded in my 2014 SV244 and got a little less than I wanted but received a 25% discount on msrp.

TroyR, I have ordered an Ri245 site unseen. March build date. The dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Oh, and I got the ZZ6 engine as well.

I have two brand new Drainmaster replacement valves for sale if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the info. Are there brackets on the market to fit the JL 8.8 speakers on a dropzone tower?

So would four Icon8 or JL Audio 8.8 tower speakers get more sound to the surfer?

How would the JL Audio 8.8 tower speakers compare to the Icon8? Does the larger case of the JL give it a better sound?

Wait, sorry I read the wrong dimensions, it’s 28’7” no platform tongue swung.

I have a garage question for the Ri245. The website has it over 30’ long with the trailer tongue folded. My SV244 Enzo measures about 27’-6” with the tongue folded. How is it that that the same size boat is 2’-6” longer? I could see the platform adding 6-8”.

I want to crawl through one then do a demo wakesurf before I decide. Supposedly the first one will arrive in British Columbia, Canada in a week or two. I looked up some torque graphs and the 6.0 has around 370 ft-lbs at 3000rpm and the 6.2 is over 400@3000rpm. I’d upgrade if I purchase one.
