Long time lurker that now has the time and money to buy a boat and enjoy surfing. <BR> <BR>I am looking for everyone's opinion on what boat would be best in this price range. Surfing is #1 on the list, with wake boarding #2. <BR> <BR>I know V drive is the way to go, but curious to see which of the older hulls will perform when weighted down. <BR> <BR>-J

Sanger V215 great choice for both. Good wake both sides same setup on each side. Does require 500 # lead for a great wake. Should be able to find one at that price.

i found an 04 centurion avalanche storm series II with 62 hours for 28k. <BR> <BR>i havnt taken posession of it yet, but from the polls i have put out here, the avalanche should have one of the best surf waves out there. <BR> <BR>good luck. this winter should be a GREAT time to buy.

What kind of wake would this MC throw? <BR> <BR><a href="http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/boa/782814662.html" target="_blank">http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/boa/782814662.html</a>

Funny looking D Drive...

I know, it appears to be a V drive. I have e-mailed him back. He did say it was a 23ft so I would assume I would need a ton of weight to surf behind it. <BR> <BR>Anyone else know much about this boat/hull?

This was the other boat I was looking at: <BR> <BR><a href="http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/boa/793487577.html" target="_blank">http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/boa/793487577.html</a> <BR> <BR>I thought I read that this hull does not throw that great of a surf wake. Is that true? <BR> <BR>-J

I'm not sure as to what years Supra has made hull changes, but, I believe the 01' Launch to have the same hull as my 05' Launch. If that is the case, I can tell you it throws a really good surf wake. You'd need to add some additional ballast weight, but the wake can get big. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/613610.jpg" alt="Upload">

There's an '00 centurion in the classifieds which throws a massive roller if you're still in the market.
