Looking to upgrade our 2007 LSV and really like the Craz. There seem to be some good deals out there on 2016, 2017 & 2018 years. What's the big difference in model years. I believe the 2019 & newer has the G6 ballast, & they system that allows you to switch surf sides, but can you get an older model to surf as well as a new model with the right weight/ballast? Thanks
AutoWake started on the 2017s.Quote:

The Craz started in '16 and all of the hulls are the same. No changes. The surf tabs evolved a bit but nothing drastic. 16 and 17 had options for how much factory ballast (the upgraded ballast in those models is called "surf edition"). From 18 up they all come with 3000lbs ballast standard. They still need more in my opinion.
The bigger differences are:
17 - autowake introduced (computer controls ballast levels to maintain a specific pitch and roll ideal for the watersport of your choice)
18 - significant autowake enhancement, g6 ballast optional (6 pumps fill and drain much faster enabling surf side changes more quickly and really helps autowake to work well by speeding its adjustment). I also think this was the first year for gatorstep flooring options.
19 - better vinyl (in my opinion), new dash, larger screen. More options standard.

Thanks for the reply guys, very helpful.
2019s also get a full wetsounds stereo. That and the new dash/vinyl made decision for us - we went 2019 [emoji1360]

Go 20% ceramic tint on your glass and get your bimini arms powder coated red....it'd really change the attitude [emoji41]
If you run a small crew you should look into upgrading your bags and add some lead to really wake her up.

Thinking to add more weight in the back. Have 2X 1100lbs and missing some will small crew.Quote:

I stash my lead under the bow cushion and you can't even see it.
AutoWake by design would empty the Enzos to lower the pitch so the extra bow weight helps prevent that from happening.
In the event that there are only 3 of us, I also have a 1000lb Sumo Sac that fits perfect in the spot over the Vdrive hump when the rear seat is slid forward.
If you run upgraded rear bags you will definitely want to reinforce the engine panels... DIY or Wakemakers has a kit.

Rear sac have been upgrade directly by the dealer before taking delivery.Quote:

Your comments are greatly appreciated. Tinting the windshield and powder coating the bimini arms would definitly add to the look. Tks

red on the bimini would def. add a pop of color to it.
we just tore all of our tint off and would not recommend it. hard to drive especially dusk/night with tint on the windshield.
ThanksQuote:
