Right now we own a malibu response LX. With some fat sacs, wedge and a 6 riders we get a decent wake. But I want a pro wake, especially now that I am landing a lot of new flips and stuff. Boats I am currently looking at are the Centurion Enzo, Centurion Avalanche, Malibu VLX, Mobius XLV, and the Super Air Nautique 210. The only way I could afford the Super Air or the Malibu VLX is if I get a college scholarship, which will probably happen. But if I dont get the scholarship, we will still buy a new boat. Give me your feedback on these boats. I am more interested in performance (huge wake) rather than style (cool graphics, nice interior, ETC.).

SUPRA SSV GG edition! You can buy it for under 55K and is ready to go.

do you know the size balast system on it?

You can buy a nicely outfitted vlx for low to mid 40's...Also, I heard bu may be coming out with an entry level v-drive...

Mine

sorry matt, i cant afford a $75 grand boat. something under 60 G's will be affordable if I get a scholarship. Otherwise it will have to be under $45 G's

Did you get the pics of the Tige wake? How could you possibly want anything else?

malibuboarder75 05-15-2004 2:23 PM

Yea, thanks for the pics. The wake is huge, I just can't buy a boat until this winter.

matt_ostmeyer 05-15-2004 4:20 PM

No worries - its my favorite V-Drive though - Roomier than the 210 but still killer wake!!!

malibuboarder75 05-15-2004 4:52 PM

Yea, I get to ride a super air nautique this weekend with the liquid force pros. Its gonna be great, I will get a taste of a true wakeboard wake. <BR> <BR>

matt_ostmeyer 05-15-2004 6:10 PM

yeah, guaranteed those guys will LOAD it up! 4000# is not out of line for the pros

malibuboarder75 05-15-2004 6:26 PM

can a 330hp handle that??? 4000 is insane, its a demo, not a photo/video shoot.

ag4ever 05-15-2004 9:03 PM

Jeff Warner of CC mentioned there have been some people putting more than 4000# in a SAN. To the point that half of the air graphic is under the water line. He was none too pleased that they were loading it up that much, but I bet it was throwing a killer wake.

greatdane 05-15-2004 11:43 PM

4000 lbs in a SAN sounds silly. <BR> <BR>The SAN builds the most efficient wake because it is more narrow and easier to sink. 2000 lbs is enough to build a great vert wake on the SAN.

malibuboarder75 05-16-2004 6:06 AM

i put 800#s in my malibu response plus about 6 people and the ski platform is about 3 inches under water. 4000#s is just insane. Well today is the big day, so i gotta go get ready

cdm 05-16-2004 8:30 AM

LOL, Whatever, Mick (Liquid Force Rep) would never load down his boat for the Liquid Force Trippin Tour. He will only run stock ballast for the demo. If the Pros do a set/demo they may weight the boat down more but not 4000 lbs. However I do know CC owners who do run 4000 lbs ballast, but he has the Python engine.

ralph 05-16-2004 12:29 PM

How does the San respond with that much weight? Does the wake just keep getting bigger and bigger or does it reach a point and stop growing?

jon_a 05-16-2004 1:02 PM

I could set you up with a brand new GG Supra SSV for $48k.

powdrhound 05-16-2004 2:41 PM

Leo How did the Super Air go in your opinion likes/dislikes???

malibuboarder75 05-16-2004 6:05 PM

I get to ride the super air nautique tomorrow. I met all the pros today and got there autograhps (aaron grace, mike ennen, melissa marquet, kevin henshaw). they are all really nice people. They were teaching my dad how to drive a double up. While my dad was talking to them about hockey (kevin played hockey in canada). It was very amusing. By the way, the team is loading the boat up with the stock ballast (830 lbs) plus 3 extra fat sacs (maybe 800-1000lbs). Plus about 10 riders. So that is a good 3000 lbs in the boat. The wake tomorrow is going to be epic. later guys.
