I think it's one of those new Chopper boats. Someone posted something similar on here awhile back.

25 foot boat that seats 12???? That is BS... my 24 fits 16... I wouldn't put 16 in there but that isn't my point.

tyler97217 06-28-2007 8:52 AM

looks like it is a calabria...

hatepain 06-28-2007 8:53 AM

The length probably is including the swim platform since he say's "front to back" and it only seats 12 heck my 21'6" seats that.

timmyb 06-28-2007 8:54 AM

My 22' seats 15...or so it claims!

Malibu/Mastercraft style Chopper Boat. HUH? If it's a Chopper Boat call it a chopper. Why not just say Malibu/Mastercraft/Correct Craft/Tige/Supra/MB/Epic/Toyota/Sanger/Moomba looking waterboard style boat. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

^ I think it has to do with making the boat show up durring searches. Im pretty sure "chopper boat" isnt searched often? <BR> <BR>Has anyone seen any of these? what are they like?

jusstty 06-28-2007 10:24 AM

I think he measured from the swim step the boat only looks around 22-23 feet.

sanddragon2004 06-28-2007 10:36 AM

i think that boat is made by some guys out of merced or some wheres that used to work for malibu or calabria or the likes. seems like a pretty expensive entry level boat? 56k <BR> <BR>does anybody remember when u could buy v210s for 28k new out the door? same boat they sell now for like 43k? im pretty sure a tower and graphics and balast dont cost that much!

pilot_ryder 06-28-2007 10:52 AM

pretty sure its a calabria

I don't think it is a calabria, because I have a pro v 2. But Chopper boats are made in Merced CA. <BR>and Calabria's are also made in Merced CA. I am wondering if it is a sister company and is introducing a new style of boats

dabell 06-28-2007 12:43 PM

Yup, Sam pointed to the ebay version of the boat and it's a 22.5 foot boat. They guy sounds like he wants to say it is a bigger boat than it really is..... If that was the case, I have a 27 foot boat. he he he

wakesetter101 06-28-2007 2:25 PM

I think they look pretty good. And compared to prices nowdays the $42,500 might not be a bad buy.

deltaboy 06-28-2007 3:05 PM

Actually they are made in Madera which is about 20-30 minutes south of Merced. The guys they have all sort of came out of MB, Malibu and Centurion from what I gather. Also look at the web site the hull looks similar to an older MB hull. Search chopper boats and I think there was a thread not too long ago about it.

bensk8in 06-28-2007 4:25 PM

I saw one of these at the boat show in Sacramento in 06, it had a similar convex hull like the Tige, so instead of hooking down it went up, and it had a big wakeplate from what I remember, it won't pull a skier in reverse like an X-steam, (which makes every other boat on the market seam outdated<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>) but I give it up to all the new boat manufacturers out there for making something different, yet the name wakecraft and Epic presents itself alot better in my opinion.

wakeeater 06-28-2007 6:21 PM

they got one of those at the local used truck lot <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> dunno about you to me thats a bad image

deltadave 06-29-2007 1:18 PM

I just saw two of those in Livermore yesterday at a used car dealer!! Now there's a place you're likely to have knowledgeable boat salesmen and excellent service! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> I wasn't sure what the hell it was, it looked like a big family boat. Chopper? Hmmm.

tuneman 06-29-2007 1:24 PM

Bad name choice. Makes me think that the entire boat is made from chopped fiberglass.

wakeeater 06-29-2007 3:16 PM

haha looks like dave saw the same boats i did they look really weird

haven 06-29-2007 4:37 PM

looks like they flopped a supersport hull for the back of it <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/469692.jpg" alt="Upload">
