By the book! Kind of a PITA but the new owner will be very happy to know it's been done correctly. You don't know how hard it was to not fill the ballast and give it a go when you have hours of flat water. Here's another shot my buddy got with his drone...Quote:
Are you following a break in procedure?

It is really hard! I put about .6 hours on before surfing. LolQuote:

And we probably only see 5 boats total the whole weekend. Never got in the water but DAMIT the break in is pretty much done. Probably one of the best weekends in Powell, just sucks breaking in a boat and not riding.
What's the difference with "ride, wave, Room, etc." compared to your Tomcat?Quote:

The Craz drives so much better, always felt like I was fighting something when turning port on the MB with some steering wheel vibration. The Craz feels like it's got power steering and nothing really felt in the steering wheel. Turning at speeds, no way you can compare both. With the deeper V on the MB it seem to bog down when doing a simple turn around. Craz was very smooth in any turn I put it in and I really had to dig into a turn to get it to bog down. Craz turns like it's on rails and drives like a high end sports car. Hands down the Craz wins the driving aspect compared to MB BUT my big rave about the Tomcat was it's amazing wake. We will see shortly about this comparison just don't have the right data to do now.Quote:

How many break in hours do you have left? Are you running stock ballast?
1 hour :cool: Right now it will be all stock ballast. I know if I really want to get into surfing I have to go with bigger rear bags. This will be my first year really trying to surf since I'm all wakeboard but not too worried about it.Quote:

Could you measure your wind damn please.? As accurate as possible. That bad girl is 300.

Holy smokes! Plexiglass is cheap! That's a diy for sure!
$300??? That's what happens when you point and click options, had no clue how much it costs. I knew I would rather have a wind damn then a bow cover with snaps on the boat. I'll work on getting some measurements for ya.Quote:

Can you post those measurements on this thread? I would like to get this made as well.
Going to also need some PTFE bars to get machined with grooves to slide this plexiglass down into.

The hardware from my dealer is only $90.00Quote:

Sorry no update on the size of the wind damn. Got the boat out Sunday and was to stoked about filling the ballast and all I spaced to measure it. I did get pics of the racks and how easy the spinners come off which would help tower folders and smaller doors. The weather is suppose to be crap again this weekend so I have to see if I'm even going to open the boat. Delay sucks, sorry guys.
Side note: The Craz wake looks money even with stock ballast, should be able to ride the next good weather weekend we have.

It's not 100% ready for the market but anybody thinking of upgrading sometime soon be on the lookout June/July :cool: Hope my dealer is willing for another demo boat but only time will tell. Back to Lake Powell this weekend to ride...
THE INTRO CRAZ AD
Just got my set of 820's in yesterday, time to fill and align the bags and see how they really fit. I got a ton of grief not going with the 1100's but I wanted a bag that would fill the back lockers without crazy pressure as what the 11's would do based on their size. Time will tell but pretty damn stoked to break them in with a week in Lake Powell.
What brand did you get, what was install like as far as fittings go. I want to upgrade the rears in my Craz but like you do not want 1100 was looking in the 900 lb range . Could you keep me up to date on fit while full,Quote:

My thought would be that it makes sense to get the one that you may possibly upgrade to later along with some panel savers. Much easier to add some time to the timer than to yet again upgrade bags. Seems like most of us on here have done the 1100s and been extremely happy with them. Just my .02Quote:

Yes I here you about upgrading twice I just don't think it's as easy as not filling all the way because the 1100 is 2 inches wider than the 900 so additional pressure is going to be there and am concerned about the pressure on engine wall. Is there any chance you could get a picture of 1100 full showing the pressure, the 1100 would be easier for me as they are in stock at my local dealer.
Thanks

These were the wakemakers 820's. You have to get the fittings also but it's plug and play. Each bag will need 3 plugs and 2 male fittings.Quote:

I'm looking for the most weight and best fit for the Craz and I mainly wakeboard rather then surf. I'm hoping these bags along with the rest of the ballast I will have a very mean wakeboard wake and a decent surf. When I sale the Craz the stock bags will go with it and the new customer can decide what ballast setup they want to run.Quote:

By the way it took almost 3 weeks to get the 820's when most everybody has the 11's in stock.
I keep meaning to get pics. We will be out riding tomorrow so I will try and remember. My panel savers arrive early next week from wakemakers tooQuote:

I snapped some pictures with my 820's full and just like I thought they fit PERFECT and I can still put wet jackets on top of them. Made a world of difference in the wake also. Will get to posting the pictures soon.Quote:

Looks like I sold my Craz also while on vacation, new owner is set to take delivery Friday :cool:
820's full with WM panel savers, I know www.marine-products.com has a couple of sets in stock. Not sure if they hit the website just yet. Let me know if you're interested in more info on the bags.
