Let's see pictures of wakes

I'm looking at buying a newer boat to replace my 1997 Aztec Coyote. I'd love to see some pictures of different wakes behind various boats if any of you have any. I'm looking at an older Correct Craft Air Nautique (1998-2001), Malibu VLX (1996-2001), Moomba Outback V.

hit the search button.....been seen/heard a thousand times already.....the bus or cc will throw a nice wake.....moombas are junk todd.

I ride behind a Session Si. I never tried an other wakeboard boat but I think it makes a big wake and it's suppose to be, because we read a lot before buying and the comments where good!!! I'm gonna try to bring you some pics!!!!

Moombas are not junk. I would bet that our Mobius LSV wake is as tall as anyone elses...just needs alot of shaping.

Todd,
What level rider are you? If you are a novice/intermediate then an LSV is perfect...if you're thinking about gas...then the LSV also has a nice wake without ballast.

Ryan is an idiot with no knowledge. You will learn to overlook people like him. He is a wakeworld troll.

I own a Nautique these days, used to own a Moomba. Anyone who says Moomba is junk is ill informed.

2000 Moomba Mob-V wake, very similar to the outback V. I owned mine for five years, and put 700hrs on it. This is 22.5 at 75ft with 2k in it. Excuse my riding skills.



I owned mine for five years, and put 700hrs on it. It ran like a champ through rain, snow, sleet, and even sunshine right up to the day I sold it.

Big E, awesome profile pic for being shopped.Either that or the tower is like 30ft tall, hahaha.

Why are you getting rid of the Aztec? I heard those things were pimp.

Go big or go home... 2007 X-star

I am an intermediate rider. I do just fine, but can't do the big tricks--yet!

I am getting rid of the Aztec because its a closed bow and we often have more than 6 people who want to ride along. I'm happy to send you some pics if you want to see it. Otherwise, its a great boat, same engine as a Nautique and throws a big wake when full with people. With just two people, the skiiers are happy too.

My cousin has a Moomba Outback and its a great boat.

Evan,
How are you weighting the Bone Crusher??? That wake looks sweet.

Yea I was wondering the same thing, is that the fly high set up?

Todd,

depending on your price range, 2007 Mobius LSV is one of your best bets if you're buying new. We got ours with everything we wanted(except swivel racks) for $39,850. If you're buying used...I hear good things about 2001-2004 SAN.

moomba-JUNK......entry wake.ski boat....kinda like a gekko!......kinda like sportin a chevy cobalt ss instead of going with the real SS!

You have a 1994 ski nautique. I don't think I would be ragging on anyones boat.

SAN, SANTE, or Supersport -- rock solid boat, and the most firm wake around

Moomba::Supra
Toyota::Lexus I think. Don't mark my words.

If you rag on Moomba, then you might as well be ragging on Supra because they are both made by Skier's Choice.

I've seen a 2007 LSV wake(1150lbs) side by side
with a 2002 Xstar wake(1350lbs) and the LSV was
definetly bigger. With the wake plate and some
extra ballast in the front, the LSV throws a bad
a$$ wake.

bone crusher wake makes my knees hurt just looking at it.

If you ignore him he will troll around to another thread with his great info on how great his 94 is.

Well said Paul.

big e.-

ur profile pic is pretty amazing... lol

06 X-1

23mph

big e, is that pic shopped. i have a feeling it is

these always make me want to cry because of my boats wake size

2001 Calabria Pro V with Pro Vert with 3 extra bags and 4 people...


2007 Calabria Pro V with Pro Vert and 6 people..


I have a ton more from a Rinker, Mobius LSV, X-10 and a Moomba Outback, post up if you would like to see those also.

C.I.E. I would like to get a taste of that X-Star wake if I ever hit your town. Is that the same ballast you had for the bone crusher?

2000 mobius DD. 3 people in the boat roughly 1600 lbs. of ballast. 23 mph at 80 feet. The water was a little shallow too.

Session Si with 2 persons in the boat... 22mph

lol Billy, that picture is amazing. I to hope it is shopped.

Heres a little different perspective: 06 21V

84 SN2001 1000 pounds ballast in the rear 3 people about 550 in the boat 150 of stereo in the bow

The first picture is an 07 Tige RZ2 with about 1900 pounds of ballast, 3 people in the boat, 22.6mph, 75ft.

Second picture is from a 2005 Supra 21V with about 2600 pounds of ballast, 4 people in boat dont remember speed or line length.

You should be posting pictures of both wakes, not just one. It's hard to tell how big it actually is or what the other side looks like with only one side of the wake.

Lol... And thats your contribution to this thread?

That's all I've got for ya.

litle e- my boats paid for bro..and i love how you guys discuss wake size....if you are a good rider you do not need a big wake......

...

... not that sure!!!!

Pierce, That Supra is KICKIN!!!

07 Supra 21v

'01 MC 205V. 2,300 lbs. Riders at 75 & 80 ft. 24.5 to 25 mph

Jeff that wake rocks! ! !

Ryan, i am glad your boat is paid for. But since when does paid for mean better.

I have a 93 Nissan pick-up that is paid for but its not better than my Denali. But hey thats paid for to.

you have a mobious....bottom of the boat industry...any nautique is better than a mobious..c mon bro you cant be serious....kinda like owning a bayliner...

gordon- that is a sick looking wake for a ski boat...

isnt a 205v the same hull as an X2 with different graphics

Evan, not many of us could handle the bone crusher. I wouldn't even bother. Knowing what JRod did with an x2, CIE with an xstar is down right dangerous.

X1 now but yeah. They throw mean wakes.
Ryan- ENOUGH!!! U R A T OO L

ryan a few more years you will have a antique. I am happy for you.

2006 X-Star with factory ballast and 3200lbs. J-Rod and crew took this picture when they where here earlier this year. Justin hadn't ridden is 6 weeks and this was his first trick, didn't even try a wake jump.

Dam I remember that day. That was the most weight we have ever put in our boat. The wake was a Monster. Storms Suck! If ya know what I mean.

I wish I'd gotten to ride that wake but the storm changed all of that, the water was really getting choppy even in this shot. We'll get out tomorrow night, I have golf tonight.

"You have a 1994 ski nautique. I don't think I would be ragging on anyones boat."

Hey, I have a 1992 SN and I represent that remark.

represent or resent--- hahahahaha

Hey, i heard a bayliner remark! Thats what were riding behind. My buddy bought a new house, and the wakeboard boat had to go. Now were riding behind a bayliner with a tower, new speakers, 1500 lbs of ballast in the thing and it rocks. I'm going bigger and landing more tricks than i was on the other boat. I resent anti-bayliner remarks. I'm not one to trash another boat company, Tige, Mastercraft, SAN, Sanger, Calabria, MBSport, Gekko, Epic, Supra:Moomba, Malibu, just because i ride something else. If it throws ANY bit of a wake, and i'm fortunate enough to be able to ride behind it, i'm stoked. Just my 2 cents

Yeah Ben...gotta ignore Ryan...I don't know if I've seen one post of his that I agree with. I have a Moomba and love it. It gets me on the water where my stress dissipates, I've taught 20+ people how to wakeboard behind it, and I've pulled kids on tubes (yes, I know) until their faces were going to break from smiling too much. Anyone who tries to tell me that my boat is a piece doesn't know why I bought a boat...not to impress people, but to have fun on the water.

Agree with ya 100% on that one Loren. Thats what its all about. My buddy has the Moomba XLV, we filled up 2,500 lbs of ballast and loaded 10 people into that thing...That was a day. And it seems to get plenty of looks cruising the lake too haha.

John, my remark was directed at ryan, and ryan alone. I was not ragging on anyones boat. To come on here and tell someone his Moomba is crap when he is riding behind a 13 year old ski boat(or any boat for that matter) is juvenile to say the least.

Just trying to inject a little humor. Heck I'm still using a pole.

That was the day I fell in love with the Xstar wake.

In my experience the Moombas are awesome. The XLV throws an incredible wake. The only thing where Moomba is lacking is the bling factor, it has the construction and powerplant of a much more expensive boat. If you don't mind a little cheaper interior and not as many gauges then the Moomba is where its at. Its a whole lot of boat for the price. Ryan I am surprised you are 25, you post like a child. People have their reasons for what they do & they don't concern you. Bashing is lame, thus you are lame. Furthermore, ask any pro what he thinks of the XLV wake. They all like it, why not you?

J-Rod, do you still have the big-block motor in the new x-star? I know Eddy wished he'd order one for his due to the lenght of the lakes that we ride on. The other prop works, it still get's on a plane in a decent distance. Anyways, hope your riding a lot and talk to you soon!

2000 SAN


2007 SAN

Hey guys..... Those pics are from the original BC. The new wake gets just as mackin', but needs a few more peeps or lbs to make up for the lighter motor. The amazing part is that it isn't that much weight (it is mostly real #'s though becuase the majority of it's lead). We've written it up before, but here it is again.

600 ish on top of the stock ballast on each side of the motor (550 sack and 65 lb lead block). 110 lbs of moveable lead to ballast out side-to-side in the interior. 600 lbs of lead (300 on each side) under the front seats. Stock center ballast.

It more than gets the job done. Last night it was just Billy and I riding, so we were down a bit of weight from normal. The wake was still huge. When you charge it you get absolutely booted. Love it. Honestly (sounds totally cliche), it's the only boat I really want to ride behind these days and pretty much the only boat I'd own right now. I'm sure I'll get bagged for that, but the wake, rough water ride and size are soo sick. Anyway, enough of my ranting....

Craig: the new boat has the 6.0 in it. Great motor for the most part. Definitely an improvement over the MCX. It'd probably work fine on your lake. The 8.1 is rediculous though. You know what they say.... You can never have too much power. That boat got on plane with zero ballast or with 4k of weight and 12 people. It just wasn't phazed.

Thought we would give this a try. My friend Justin behind my parents 36' SeaRay Sundancer with twin 8.1L inboards. The wake was massive, but it took a while to pick up a downed rider...haha. 8 people, both fuel tanks full, right trim tab down, left tab up, and no ballast. The X-2 surf wake is awesome, but it aint this big!

The wake...


The boat...


LAKE POWELL!!!

hahaha post some more pic of surfing the sea ray

Surfing behind an I/o?

i cant believe that people still actually believe boat stereotypes. all of the inboard boat companys make sick boats. also, ryan, of course a good rider doesnt need a big wake, but isnt it cooler going big? and doesnt a big wake help you do that?

a big wake definately helps... i have a friend who rides behind a malibu wakesetter and can jump as high as me, only difference is he has the ballast tanks and the tower, while i have my i/o that makes a decent wake due to the weight (nothing like a wakeboats), but very wide due to the fact my boat is wide... although it has forced me to focus on my form so when i do ride behind a wakeboarding boat i'll be going biig, but it is a nuisance that i have to go 24 to clear the wake without have to push it or the fact that when i would be landing 4 feet into the flats behind a wakeboarding boat... i'm casing my wake

i'm sorry for the rant, but its not cool having all your friends have perfect wakes and your stuck with the bad one..............

does anyone have any more pics of the wakes behind the o6 or 07 moombas? lsv and xlv. thanks. Looking to snag one here in two months thanks for any pics or response on the new moombas. No Trolls

surfing behind an i/o brilliant! not so much!

i want a big wake!

2005 Mastercraft X-star.... stock ballast.... 4 people.... The wake was great!!!

Usually I put another thousand pounds in it, and the wake turns incredible!!!!

Plus its a diesel, so when taking off, I can't even tell how much weight is in it!! Accelerates the same no matter what!! I love this boat!!!

P.S. These pictures are really bad, but I will try and get some good ones soon!!

heres one a lil better

We have an '05 LSV with 1400lbs ballast. Planning on adding another fat sac next year. We like the wakeplate feature. It helps produce a cleaner wake with a smoother ride. Our Mobius does all that we need with room to grow.

We have heard a lot of good things about the new moombas. Check out the moomba.com message board. Lots of good info there.

We have been very please with ours.

Good Luck!

behind a 17.5ft doral with 115hp outboard and no ballast

Our X1 wake, stock ballast plus 220 in the very rear lockers and 320 in the bow, driver and spotter at 22 mph

^^ sweet wake! whats the best trick u've pulled? (Matt P.)

(Message edited by lfs56 on August 27, 2007)

that 07 x star wake is MASSIVE. how much weight are you running in that!!

Jared:

w2w heelside 360 is the best I can pull off. I have been trying tantrums and backrolls and have almost landed them, just need to practice my timing. I make it too complicated and try to throw the trick to early and dont get enough height.

Matt: Dare I ask if those are the old 3060 bindings you're wearing?!?!

Dude....props to you for doin' work with that set-up!

If you're ever in OKC and want a pull, let me know.

haha this one looks like a cell phone picture, a little washier on one side


not much better

You get the idea tho

Eric: Indeed they are the 3060's

They are a few years old but I still like em so I had no need to upgrade, but might do so next spring for a change.

Thanks for the kind words. I would love to have a WB boat with a killer wake but this is all I have to work with now, and I really enjoy boarding so rather than give it up I just make the most out of it!

Thanks for the pictures guys. Still waiting to see a picture of the wake behind an Air Nautique direct drive with factory ballast.

05 malibu vride, stock ballast, 5 people, wedge
