That's a nice looking boat. I agree with the statement about the battery placement and the dash looks out dated. Other than that, it looks nice.

While no pictures of any wakeboarding at least they posted a picture of the hull

Is it possible that the major brands have raised prices enough on wakeboats that they are now enabling competition? Are the profit margins large enough to allow small guys to start building and make money??????

New boats seem to be popping up more frequently.

There was a thread on here last year about the guy who started Chopper Boats. I think he was from a major boat building company who went off on his own.

Maybe this is Sanger testing the market of their new "all composite" no wood hull! Looks just like a Sanger... Nice looking boat.

Yeah i saw one of their V-Drives last summer.. Im almost positive that the owner used to work for MB.. They're a pretty solid boat... I love how deep the interior is.. Definitely a nice boat

Look at the hull. Looks like an old CC design - old 210.

the guys that started chopper came into my parents dealership and wanted us to sell them. they basically build them out of a very small wear house. i think they said that they bought one of the old 2000 or 2001 MB hulls to start making their molds. we turned them down they were impressive at all.

Bet is throws a nice wake. Anyone see the similarities of the hull with a san? (the actual part in contact with the water)

i was told that these guys used to work for Malibu, since they are from the same area (central ca).

Looks like a malibu knock off to me. That dash is way ugly.

"That dash is way ugly." i agree

the gauge arrangement is horrible as well
