Anyone boarded behind one of these?

I bet with some weight, it would throw a nice wake.

I have not, but from looking at the photo of the rear of it, it doesn't look like it will be that great.

The "V" of the hull is continued allll the way to the rear of the boat, most all wakeboard boats have a deep "V" up front and are flat on the rear..... that is the typical I/O hull shape, which is not ideal for wakebaording

Those boats are/were very popular at the main dock in Daytona Beach, I counted at least three the last time I was there. There is also one in Santa Barbara that they use for a "work boat" that is pretty much trashed, but still floating. I have seen another in dry dock at Page, AZ.

have you seen the new SAN? its got a pretty deep V in the back. with weight pretty much anything can have a sweet wake

That fly bridge is AWESOME! If the one I posted had that, I might buy it just so I can look cool at the lake!

I completely disagree with this statement. Guess it depends on your definition of sweet. I've ridden behind a few boats that were heavily weighted and left a lot to be desired.

That thing could be a surf wake making machine.

I disagree with the deep V comment as well. My family's first boat was a 21' ocean boat with a small sleeper up front. It had a very deep V on it which went all the way to the back. I still believe to this day that it put up a way bigger wake then my current boat does with less weight in it.

Not sure about the wake-ability of the hull, but one thing is for sure, you could probably put 6000lbs in her and your gunells will stay dry. There is a lot of freeboard. I would guess it would make a steep touchy wake and a good surf wave.

If I used it as a tow boat, I would have to give some thought to putting an actual waterbed instead of sacs in the cuddy. ;-)

i was more referring to the fact that any boat can throw a big wake, not necessarily a shaped wake....i figured it was obvious since its not a wake boat, and anyone planning on buying one to wakeboard doesnt really care about the shape, they just want a tow!
