Ok Im new here but Ive been lurking around for a while. <BR> <BR>Its time for me to step up from the little runabout I call a wakeboard boat. Lets face it me putting a tower on it was like putting lipstick on a pig and not to mention a waste of money<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>. <BR> <BR>So after looking around for something that would fit my budget (new boat) with no luck I decided to stop in at the dealer near me ( Norco Ca)to see if this whole thing was even within reach. <BR> <BR>So at California Correct Craft( gotta give props) the salesman pulled out this list of like 17 new left over Centurions and from what I gather from my research the prices were pretty much at cost or at least near it. His words were" we gotta get rid of them". <BR> <BR>So this pricing bumped me up a notch in the boat I could afford...sweet! <BR> <BR>So my question is this, what are some opinions on either the avalanche and/or the enzo? I like things about both and they have colors in both that I like. Also what options are important and not so important? They are hooking me up on option pricing also but I do not want to buy what I dont need nor do I want to come up short. <BR> <BR>Thanks in advance for your replys

What size Enzo? Do you plan on surfing? If you like surfing, get Sideswipe and maybe the Switchblade. I can offer more depending on what you really want to use the boat for.

If surfing is your main drive, go Enzo 230. If you board and surf, Avalanche. <BR> <BR>Enzo 216 is different than both and I wouldn't consider. my .02 cents <BR> <BR>Not sure I'd get an Enzo with switchblade for surfing. If I just surfed, I'd remove my blade. It's a $4k option that you can pass on. Sideswipe is loud and expensive as I'd go FAE aftermarket and save a grand.

I had a 05 Avalanche and now have an 07 Enzo 230. The Avalanche wake is more vertical and more sensitive to side to side balance. The Enzo has a longer transition (still has a solid lip) and is much less sensitive to side to side balance. I think the surf wake is equal on the 2 boats. The Enzo needs (can handle) more ballast to maximize. If I was buying again I would get the Enzo.

After being in one I would not dismiss the 216/220 so quickly.

I would agree with antifan (mars) of course I could have ownership googles.............but I don't think so

thanks everyone for your replys. <BR> <BR>I have just ventured into wakesurfing so right now wakeboarding is my primary focus. I think Ill stay away from sideswipe. I actually had a chance to ride in a boat that had it and I found it to be quite noisey but what do I know? <BR> <BR>So I will be heading back to california correct craft tommorrow to hopefully pick out a boat. Im leaning towards the 23 enzo (wife likes the bow) gotta keep her happy. <BR> <BR>Ill let you guys know.

Ahh Tim? <BR> <BR>I read your reply earlier but i see that its gone for some reason,cant remember word for word but... <BR> <BR>Just to let you know Pete and Bill have been most helpful as well as the rest of your staff. Hopefully Ill get to meet you tommorrow when I stop buy. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Thanks for the tips.

Hey Sean, I guess the moderator Nazi's didn't like me mentioning the pricing of our remaining 2007 Centurions. I won't be in tomorrow, but I'm sure Pete or BIll will help you find the right boat to keep you and your wife happy. Tim <BR>P.S. The Enzo 216 does have a little different bottom...but it works well as an all around wake/surf/skate boat when loaded right for what you are doing on any given day.

avalanche for multi-use (surfing, wakeboarding,and wakeskating). I agree put a FAE on instead of side swipe, you will save alot of money. Get the Enzo if you are strictly surfing, but it still a great wakeboard boat also. Avalanche should be lower in price also.

Avalanche is an awesome wakeboard and surf boat. One of the best wakes I have ridden.
