Wake question

I have a Mastercraft X-2 With 925 lbs extra ballast and an 18 pitch propeller. I love my wake but I can get an good price for the 2005 Malibu VLX + I can sell my boat for a nice price. The only thing I want to know is if it is possible to get the same wake with the same extra ballast? or even better?

If you love your wake then why switch to a vlx? Like Kevin says we can't tell you what to like. Give the vlx a try.

Its a much wider boat. Wider boats make rampier wakes. Wider boats are harder to sink. The deeper you sink the boat, the more vertical the wake.

We only have 1 VLX with only the stock ballast. no Wedge. I will switch because there is is always something broken on my boat and the service in Belgium is terrible.

It starts from 48000 euro I think. I don't have the prices from 2005 yet

you can get an incredible wake out of an 05 VLX wiith an extra 900+ lbs. With the wedge you can change the wake frome rampy to vert as riders prefer.
