2025 Yamaha 222XE Review after 38 hours

[FunTech4Real]

Here's the review (I'm the camera man):

I should have Zipwake installed on it a week from now. I'm going to see if it can help list the boat while wake surfing, allowing us to carry less lead on the boat for surfing. Also really looking forward to improved rough water handling.

I am in the process of researching zipwake. Are you doing the install yourself. My initial thought was that you would have to turn the system off to surf. But your idea of listing the boat with the zipwake is interesting.

Mechanic is installing it. Zipwake has manual mode, which will let me list the boat to one side while wake surfing (at least in theory; it works on the Kyma K7 with seakeeper ride).

Yes, I know it has a manual mode. I must not have seen the Seakeeper on the Kyma last July in PC.

Which zipwake model are you installing. I filled out their questionnaire including the requested measurements for our 222SE. They sent me the templets for the 300S. it looks small. That said I haven't had a chance to place the templets on the transom to check the fit yet.
