I'm an intermediate rider and have a 23 and love the wake (one of the few that seems to be clean and narrow enough to clear at l at lower speeds). The X-Star has a great wake, but below 23 mph it is soft. I am a frequent viewer of the nautique forums, but I haven't seen a wake boarding comparison between the 23 and the 25. . There is a surf comparison ("G23 vs G25 surf wake" on the Planetnautique.com forum page. For wake boarding it should be pretty similar as the width of the boat and the shape of the hull are identical. The 23 holds enough people and gear for almost anyone. The 25 is a tad heavier and slower, burns more gas and holds so many riders that I would have too wait longer for my set.
