Suggestions for sub 19' wakeboat under 5k
 

I am on a lake that is super strict and the max size is 19'. I really want a v-drive but I guess a direct drive will work. Any suggestions for a 19' vdrive that throws a macking tube and kneeboard wake?

Have u looked into an MB?

:p :D

I think those are 19'6". I wonder if I could cut the nose off? I have wicked good duct tape skills.

If you can't find one, buy one of these. Tons of room for sacs for a huge wake. And it's only 12', just to b safe!

You may have to fight wakeboard guy for it tho. Paint mastercraft on side and it can b a x star

Please start a thread looking for recommendations on duct tape for sub 20ft boat repairs.

Can anybody tell me about the Moomba boomerang?

How about this boat? Looks super fast.

Check this out..Baja was one of the innovators in huge wakes. You can ride this thing at 30 mph @ 100 feet.

I wonder if I can clear the wake at 90'?

Who needs 19 when 14 will get it done.
Deep v and tons of room for ballast

Well I just was able to petition the lake and theysaid it had to be over 24ft and now I have an 80k budget. Anyone have an idea ?

Natique 2001 (Mid-80s). You can find plenty under $5K if you'll turn a wrench. One of my favorite slow speed short line wakes!

This threads gone cold. Create a new account with a different name and start a new thread asking same thing.

You may have to look into an i/o. There's plenty on the market with towers and if you can find one with a V8 you'll have plenty of HP to drop in some ballast. Even a newer fuel injected 4.3 L will give you enough ponies to put in 1000-1500 lbs, play with your trim and you can get a decent enough wake to do 3's, basic inverts, and still have a great time.

Buy a good v-drive and cut a foot off the nose. Make it look like Epic or other pickle fork. I bet a good glass guy could do it for a K or2

We will be selling our boat soon.... '88 Supra TS6M Comp.... think it's 19'7". DD, but when weighted, wake is pretty good considering.... I can send more info/pics if you want...

Here's an XStar that I saw for sale. Guy said he added ballast system and wrap. He's probably got at least $5000 in man hours on this one... Might make him an offer?

^^^How would you weight that x star and what speed and line length would be best?also if I got a pair of rev 10 for it what amp would be best?

I'd look at exile and sony explode

wow, a remote control xstar with ballast. someone has way too much time on their hands. haha

did you notice he changed out the look of the tower too? freakin crazy that he spent that much time and detail....
