I just had some customers who have a condo and tri-toon on a lake there at Chattanooga.

Don’t tell them I have an R6 Surf On order. Folks with pontoons don’t like the surf boats. Rightfully so. I really do my best to not cause havoc with the wave. I wish all would do the same.

I don't complain about surf boats> they're the reason my wife let me move up to a R3.

Thank you for that! That wave is WAY bigger!
We have the same interior ordered as yours! What color is yours on the outside?
I pretty much got all the options except Windless but I'm considering getting that too because the R6 anchor box is smaller than the R5. Got the VP380. Can't see the value in paying 9k for the extra 2 mph
Take some pictures if you think about it
We might take you up on checking it out!

About the ride up the river, It's really pretty in the fall for sure. The water is deep, but sometimes the current makes it weird to surf in, plus its colder because of the depth.

The Marina is Erwin marine in Chattanooga. We will keep the boat on a friends lift in front of his lake house. in the spring and summer. Water will be to low to put it on the lift when we get the boat in the winter so it will be on a trailer somewhere.
We got pretty much the same options as you listed, including the windlass. I pretty much got that one because my friend they we boat with has an R5 surf without one. Lol. But it turns out to be a superior anchor from anything I’ve ever had. Plus pushing a button and not bringing a muddy anchor up into the boat helps keep it all clean. Lol! Ours is blue and white. See the pics below. The interior stays shockingly cool in the sun as well. Like it can sit all day and you just sit down on it without thinking or burning ourself. Next to that, the platinum sound, you can pretty much pull the boat into any club and it’ll sound better than the house system there. I’d say it’s equal quality to ascend amphitheater in Nashville in terms of quality of sound. Here are a few pics of the boat.

That is a great looking boat! How tall does she she sit on the trailer... I have a 12 foot door on our garage, I'm hoping my R8S, when it comes, will fit under it with the prisma arch folded down????

Thank you! It sits right at 12’ on the trailer from the ground to the top of the anchor light. If you get the folding arch it won’t be a problem. For me, I’d need to remove the anchor light to get it in a 12’ door.

Thanks for the response and the info, enjoy your boat!
