Anyone ridden behind a MasterCraft CSX 265 SS ?

(gene3x)

Just curious if this beast has a wake that goes the way of the X-80 (crap). Wondering if it can be a decent wake or not.

I have driven the 265CSX but never rode behind it. Looked good and cleaner than the X80, but the thing I liked the most was the way it drove and handled.

Anything above the X45 is a •••••••••••••

Darren, you drove it with no weight in it I assume? What are you acustom to riding behind? What wake is it similar to?

We actually rode behind one of these at a competition last year. I'm not sure if it was the 220 or 265, but the wake was freaking huge. They were pulling the novice riders on it and the wake was bucking them to heights you could tell they weren't used to. The intermediate riders had a little trouble with it also. It was like hitting a 3 foot wall. Not sure how they had it weighted.

gene,
normally I ride a X15, but the 265 is similar to the X35. It looked to be big and a nice ramp, but you'll have to work at getting it clean.

Have riden a bunch behind the 220. The wake is pure money...

The 265 wake must be HUGE with a boat that size. Wonder if its clean (thinking X-80...)?
