I’m new to the forum and wanted to say hello. What a great forum! I’ve been enjoying reading and learning for several days. <BR> <BR>I also wanted to ask for the opinions of the experts here on what design and features make the “best wakesurfing boat”. I’m an amateur boat builder and want to build a boat specifically for wakesurfing (just for my own use – not to sell). I’m a goofy foot rider so if there are any tips for getting the best starboard side wake I would love to hear them. Thanks in advance for any info / advice. <BR> <BR>Charlie

Charles, check out this thread: <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/328728.html?1148504912" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/328728.html?1148504912</a>

Nothing will beat the wake of the new Malibu 247 with the Power Wedge!

Get out to your local Centurion dealer and look at the hull on an Enzo - by many accounts the best surfing hull. Then look at Centurion Lightning - my hull - possibly everything you don't want in a hull<IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" ALT=":-(" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>I have some other ideas I'm working on but I think I'll hold back giving any new reports until I see if they pan out.

Patrick, I wish I was your next door neighbor - that looks amazing!

Thats not my boat...I wish it was! Although I can get a decent wake out of my D (look at my profile) <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0>

i think my boat will hold up with any boat for surfing. <BR>mobius XLV <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/331535.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/331536.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/331537.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR>

entrust, that wake is huge, how do you have it weighted?

700# sac in the front, 750# sac in the rear locker and like 6 people on the boat <BR>

oh and the wakeplate all the way up
