    New boat 24RZX

    Starting a new thread to share my experience with the new 24RZX. My previous boat was a 2021 25ZX.

    24 rides/handles better and it’s not even close. Boat planes very easily and rides very smooth. I. An run 25+ through chop with no trouble.

    25 deeper and feels a bit bigger even though I don’t think it actually is.

    24 MUCH more storage (not that important to me)

    I prefer the traditional bow of the 25(obviously not a huge deal)

    24 interior is a step up from the 25.

    24 rides up out of the water where the 25 rides very high in the bow. I always had trouble getting my 25 to plane out (with and with out weight)

    24 is quieter and motor doesn’t seem to labor near as much as 25 (the motor laboring may have been something specific to my 25)

    24 has thruster perko switch where 25 did not

    24 has wireless charging stations plus USB ports

    Nothings specific to 24 vs 25 but the new board racks are absolutely amazing.

    I always said my 25ZX was my favorite surf wave I had ever ridden. (I run about 500lbs lead). In my picky opinion I think the 25ZX is a bit better than the 24. However, the 24 is really good and I’m still tweaking my setup. I know some have mentioned the 24 wave is too steep. I personally don’t see it. I run mine on the steepest setting. I’m contrast I always tan my 25 on either the most mellow or the second. Anything more and it was not long enough for me. Also, we ride at 11.6.

    Glad you’re enjoying it! Wild build with the red but I dig it.

      IMO the 24 RZX is the best boat for Tige' yet. Big improvement over the 23RZX.

        This is my fourth different Tige model and I would agree with you on everything but the surf. For me the 25ZX is the best surf wave.

          I have not been on a ZX25 so I can't say on that. But I put 500# of lead in my boat mid ship and the wave is really good now.

            A bit off topic, but I noticed the observer sitting in back while surfing. In Missouri, we get pulled over if someone is on the back watching. However, we don't have a chair like that so does the chair make it okay? Just curious.

                I'm curious what the difference is between the 24RZX and 23RZX? Thanks!

                      We got pulled over on a Thursday evening surfing in between havasu springs and steamboat cove for the same reason. (I know we’re not suppose to

                        Duniet I will list the differences below.

                        1. The forward walkway is a great plus picking people up off the dock.
                        2. The rear surf locker is huge.
                        3. The 24 burns less fuel a good bit less far as I can tell. Must be the new hull design.
                        4. The inside with trash can is laid out better more storage. Lay out is really good pretty much just like a Supra SE.
                        5. All the seats are on hinges other than two small ones in the bow not a big deal.
                        6. Access panel to the water pump is nice when the impeller needs replacing. Big panel in surf locker you can get right to it.

                        It just looks better than the rzx23 to me also. I like this 24rzx a lot so far.

                          Thank you maxrider! Some of what you mentioned are on my boat. All of my seats are hinged. Mine has a forward walkway with built in step on the bow. The rest thanks!

                              How is the bow spray on the new boats? That’s my biggest gripe and it’s probably enough for me to try something else next time (Supra SL).
