Do all Nautiques throw a good wake?

I'm in the market for a used Nautique (something in the 20K +or- range. Like everyone else I want the best wake possible. Are there any Nautique hulls that don't produce an awesome wake? Are they all steep? I hear the old 2001s throw a nice wake, and the late 90's too. Are there any specific years I should stay away from?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but the only one that is significantly different is the Ski Nautique. It's 19' and a difference hull than today's shapes. I will say from personal experience riding behind a 95 Ski Nautique, if you sack it out (we used 5 total) the wake still gets scary big and the engine doesn't even flinch out of the hole.

If I had $20k I'd go with a 1995 Super Sport (that deal is out there somewhere), a newer (1995-1997) Sport Nautique, or go over to Malibu and get a mid-late 90's Sunsetter VLX.

Good advice. Thanks AGAIN David. I wasn't sure which older Malibu hulls would be good for me. And there aren't very many on the used market.

J-Rod... Ever think of instead of a mastercraft or Nautique... For 20K + -.. you could get a pretty new v-drive supreme, Centurion, b-52...etc, with all the goodies

Yep. I'm considering that too Aaron. I rode behind a heavily loaded supreme last season and it wasn't bad.

What about the Moomba Mobius V?

I considered those too, but someone said buy 2002 or newer because the hull design made a big improvement in 2002. I'm not prepared to spend on a 2002.

j rod search for the older nautique they are just as good even the 84 and up nice wake not weighted!!
but old boats give trouble, so know the boat!!
you will hve more money for gas and beer!!hahaha!!
