You Know What Really Bugs Me?

Why don't the boat websites have pictures of their boats wakes? There is never a shot of the wake, ever.

Its not like they're made for wakeboarding or anything

Epic kinda does...

The epic boats have such a sick wake, great interior and proformance parts, everything except looks, cool graphics, but it looks like a duck and has a wierd tower.

the boat buyers guide in the wakeboarding magazine puts pics of the wakes both weighted and unweighted

Dunno if that has boat wakes, but it's cool that WBM put that much time and effort into putting that all together.

Also, please note that pictures never really do boat wakes that much justice, especially from the towboat.

I don't think a photo of the wake makes a huge difference. Your best bet is to find a model that could suit you then try it out and see if the wake is make or break on your decision.

Ah Trevor, another wise comment from you. By the way, I think ducks look cool too.

I like ducks, they swim good.

I think they don't put pictures of their wakes because pictures do nothing for anyone that knows a damn thing about wakes. I've ridden wakes that looked like ass but for some reason had a lot of pop and were pretty good, its about the feel! I don't care what it looks like, as long as it give me a boot and feels right when releasing off the wake, all is well.

Do you wanna know what really bugs me? Honestly, nothing really, I'm pretty happy. Cheers.

i agree with big heavy, some wakes look big but have no volume beneath them, and you cant really see that u gotta feel it, so go to the boat store and have them take you out on a demo...if ur gonna spend 50, 60, 70, or hell 100 grand on a new boat, im sure they wont mind lettin you get a run behind it first.
