Supposedly this carrier was the last surviving Aircraft Carrier built in England for WWII. $4.5 million sounds cheap for this rig. Wonder what kind of wake this baby throws?

I like the tower on it.

The wake is much better on the new ones. I hear the wake washes out when you add weight to the WWII models. I also heard the steel they use in that brand rusts.

hmm...An aircraft carrier. I wonder if Buena Vista would allow it?

Actually the above picture was before Monster Tower became the official wakeboard tower of the United States Navy Gravity Games Team! Ever see a 9' diameter Heim Joint :-)

why buy that, when you can get a new x-star for the same price.....

That's an old pic....here's the new one...they had to make a few mods so that someone would buy it, but I guess some people will buy anything if it's got the right label.

Weird the way that boarding platform is on the side like that .
They must of already dropped a rider otherwise they wouldn't have those flags up

Are you guys nutz??????? Would you pay 4.5 million dollars for a boat WITHOUT PERFECT PASS?

I know I wouldn't!

perfect pass on that sucker! I can just imagine.

We should ask for some fat sacks to be made up for her.

(socalwakepunk)

I wonder if the owner would mind throwing a few fat sacs in, and sending us a pic, so that we can see how far under the swim step goes?

I called on the Ballast system they said no problem, built in and floods(opps)fills in 10 seconds, But when we test drove this thing it steers like an aircraft carrier. My ski rope was a little short on one end too. My son dropped in off the platform and thank goodness he is strong becouse the rope was about 200 feet short. All in all this is a great buy, but they say no trailer.

WAIT....is that a WAKEWING on that thing?????

sickboy 06-04-2003, 4:17 PM

Is there a bimini included? For 4.5 mil, they should just throw one in.

smwakeboarder 06-04-2003, 8:02 PM

i would not buy it if it did not have the wakewing on it, i heard it works real good.

hate to wipe the waterspots off after you pull it out of the water

Is this the first boat where a full tank is more expensive than the boat itself?
