I had the exact same problem on my 2022 R6 surf; I took delivery in September so had the dealer recalibrate over the winter while fixing all the warranty issues, but when I took it out in the spring (with a full tank) my gauges read zero, so I found that in the Garmin screen you can reset fuel level ...

I am finalizing my R6 order in the next few days and trying to decide between the mooring cover or the separate bow and cockpit covers. My boat is on a lift with the dock on the port side and a bench on the starboard side. Can the mooring cover be installed easily when the boat is on a lift? I ...

We have ours on a lift and it's not hard to install the mooring cover. I can do it either raised or on the water, but a little easier when it is lowered.

I leave the zippered part open in the back where I stand at the end while installing over the swim platform, then step off and reach over and ...

The bigger screens are really nice. We added the rear view camera as well, great for the driver when you have a surfer up, but that is certainly a "nice to have". My first time having a windlass, and we usually anchor at least once during a day on the lake, I love not having to haul up the anchor by ...

This boat is almost identical to the one we have on order. We have the black windshield, prisma tower and the same board racks. Also, the have the same stereo. How does the stereo sound? Have you noticed the gun whales flexing or the windshield moving at all?

.... and the bimini top is ...

The stereo sounds amazing, and a ...

Great color combo. That was one of my choices I designed but went with the pacific blue and black combo. So far we set our trim at 0, speed at 11.3 and only 1/2 tank in the opposite side we are surfing. We tried a speed of 10.7 but the wave was too tall.


We only have 6 hours on the boat so far ...

We just took delivery of our new R6 Surf, so it is time to sell the 2017 R3 Surf.

This is a great boat we purchased new in February 2017 from a dealer in Utah. Boat is now located in Oklahoma.

Outfitted with the V-8 380 engine, folding arch, dual battery switch, center bow cushion, docking lights ...

Just received our new R6 surf this week (ordered on February 1, 2021).

My first impressions so far is that the wave is incredible. The boat handles chop well, much better than any boat we have owned. First week in and we love it so far. The dual electronic screens will take some time to get used to ...

Seems they really have forgotten quality touches from years ago. back when they first started making the 19' bow riders they had a problem with the top side flexing too much and would allow the center windshield to fall through. So in the early 80s they started putting in a steel yoke to stiffen ...

If you are still looking, I'm taking delivery of my new R6 Surf next week, and will be selling my 2017 R3 surf. Dark bottom, #80 engine, no windlass, with a trailer, 65 hours. Still have no idea how to find the value, but am working on it.

I ordered my R6 Surf on February 1st, 2021, and was told I have a July delivery date, and according to my dealer, the July date is still good as of a few weeks ago. I'm quite skeptical that it will be here this summer at all.

The boat is fixed! Apparently the local marina spliced the wire when installing the new cylinder, and that is a no-no.

My 2017 R3 trims about halfway down automatically in surf mode, but if you look at my most recent issue, may not be the correct setting!

Thanks for the replies. in hindsight, the dealer should have been my first choice to make this repair.
