2020 Penta 380hp refused to start?
2020 R7 Surf w/ Penta V8. Pretty intense tubing session, turned off engine to pull rope/tube in, tried to restart and only got a beep. All gauges read normal.

Re: 2018 R7 Surf - electronic issues??
Thanks everyone! I'm 6'1", 190 but there's only 4 of us so if I'm in the water there's less than 400 lbs of body weight in the boat. Where did you put the fatsac on the boat? It does have a fresh water shower tank at the stern port side - thinking of filling that up as another ballast.

Re: 2018 R7 Surf - electronic issues??
Pulled the trigger: 2020 R7 Surf. A super fun and beautiful boat. Our kids dropped the rope with only a handful of runs. I've dropped it a few times and almost immediately lost the push....goal is get it this season!

Re: 2018 R7 Surf - electronic issues??
Thanks everyone, I opted to drive the 7 hours for 2 years newer, 300 hours fewer and 2.5 years of remaining warranty - for the same asking price. Had it out over the weekend - WHAT A BOAT!

Re: 2018 R7 Surf - electronic issues??

Over its life its had various issues that have been covered by warranty (surf tab bound up, steering cylinder, trim tab actuators, surf controller).
