Re: R6S Vs R8S - Looking for Owner Opinions

From what I have read the difference in size is in the bow, but dont quote me on that. As far as trailer goes, I pull my R8 Surf, with a half ton Dodge with the proper 392 heavy duty rear end. If I was lugging this thing every week a bigger truck would make me feel better, but I run the boat 4 hours ...

Re: R4 surf


Can't help with the R4, we have an R8 surf and we love the wave. Our heaviest surfer so far was 290 and a novice, he had no trouble being able to ditch the rope. Hope that helps.

Also, our boat came with the wrong prop. When we got the right prop it made a huge difference on gas mileage and ...
