Dealer got my new R7 surf in today

[cmattj]

I would use a dingy. I think the water might be 3 feet deep max at the end of the trailer. Prob a 5 ft hole where my prob wash is then back to 3ft.

I love BB response to launching.. I kept thinking autocorrect.. but then I pictured a crew of people on a Dinghy watching the boat slowly come down the ramp..

Sorry.. little hangover...

I can see this now too. Man it was a good night last night

Bwahaaaaa.. killed it BB .. hey how come you get to drive? Fun stuff!

That boat is tremendous. Tremendous. Huge fan.

Welcome from lovely Western NY.

Forward drive on a shallow launch. I have to think about that a bit.

Also - How's the trash can in that thing? Same as yours Tusc?

Is the clearance on a forward drive really much different from a traditional stern drive? Looking at the two pics below it seems like the prop is at about the same depth either way (maybe even shallower on the forward drive??), just a bit further forward. Also, if I'm thinking correctly, the trim directions would still be the same too. When trimmed up, the prop points up either way, just on opposite ends of the drive unit. Same when trimmed down. Only thing that looks a little scary is when the drive is trailered, the prop is pretty low, but maybe not much lower than the skeg on a normal drive?

Correct as you trim up to go into shallow areas the prop keeps going lower closer to the bottom of the lake or rocks what ever your trying to avoid.

I woulda been screwed with one of those at Havasu. Or maybe you trim down instead of up for more clearance? I guess it is backwards after all

Does your JL tower speakers and rear swim platform speakers have the RGB lighting option? I have not received my boat yet but the dealer is telling me that they are lit and the factory is telling me they are not?? I ordered the RGB interior lighting option but did not know what all that included??

I am not sure. I ordered it also. I have paid for boat but haven’t taken delivery because they are dtoring it for me until spring.

By this picture it looks like it has a led ring between the speaker and hull.

So how's the dog doing with the booties. And how's the new ride?
