Nice, I thought it looked familiar!!! Was it a demo & did you crawl around the ASR while you were there?
crap on that demo...just don't have enough time to get anywhere to look at stuff right now

No demo on mine, ordered it from the factory.
If you are talking about the blue ASR at Performance, you could say I crawled around on it...I got to drive it this summer! Great wakeboard boat, surfing was so-so. It's a really heavy boat and could use more ballast weight than what we had with us that day to list it properly. The 2015 ASR's will surf better than the 2014's IMHO with the new articulating VX. The ASR is awesome, but it is an expensive boat! Of course I am biased, but I still think the Z serious is a better dedicated surf boat.
The surf X package in the 2015 Z3 really was noticeable compared to a stock 2014 Z3. Even with the surf package in 2014 they needed just a little more weight!

All sorts of folks wanting to jump into the wake boat market. Only if Yamaha would listen...

I bet if Yamaha wants to be in that nitch market they may do something about it in a few years. I don't look for it any time soon though.

Me and my wife had a conversation with a regional rep on that very topic about a year and a half ago. His response was they keep telling Yamaha people want to surf, the Yamaha engineers response was that it was a 5 year fad....

One word Liability! 3500 or so lbs of jet thrust can do a lot of damage, I'm sure legal keeps shutting it down.

Nope, Lake of the Ozarks in the State Park. I've not been on Kinkaid in years! Camped on the point one year, it was like a big party with pizza delivery, lol!
