Put aside performance, wake, cost, resale, all that stuff. Who do you guys think make the best looking wakeboard boat? Stock out of the factory.

Bu, although I'm not a fan of the new illusion or that funky new windshield. so maybe the Bu of like 2 years ago? I'm a CC guy so I'm not up on all the makes and years

Depends on your taste.

I don't really care for all the wild graphics or the glitter. I prefer classic tower designs, bright colors, blue, red, yellow, etc. Malibu VLX or LSV, Supra SSV, etc.

I think the Malibu Wakesetter 247 LSV looks INCREDIBLE.

I really like the beefy look of X-Stars, i dont know what it is, but I like the fat towers, and just overall flow.

I agree with cosmocat. The old naughtys look like fishing boats gone crazy. They have that pushed forward windshield and transom that cuts back. I love em'. Just a cool looking boat.

For once I am going to have to agree with Mike,classic CC styling is timeless.

I really like the lines on the Sanger V215. Especially when they are slammed down.

(ralph) · (ralph) **Join Date: Apr 2002** 09-11-2008, 6:32 PM

Oh, also while not a wake boat I really really like the Prostar 197

(jon4pres) · (jon4pres) **Join Date: May 2004** 09-11-2008, 6:47 PM

I really like the older super air 210. They just have a timeless look to them with the single line graphic.

Malibu 247 is bu-tiful
I really like the fat stubby look of the new x2.

(polarbill) · (polarbill) **Join Date: Jun 2003** 09-11-2008, 7:11 PM

In my opinion the best looking wake boat is a slammed Xstar.

(wakeslife) · (wakeslife) **Join Date: Jul 2005** 09-11-2008, 7:39 PM

I agree with Brett. Theres something about the pickleforked bow of a slammed X Star a foot off the surface of the water that just looks mean.

(eaglejackson) · (eaglejackson) **Join Date: Oct 2004** 09-11-2008, 7:44 PM

I think an 05 SAN or 05 X-2 are truly beautiful.

I'm an old guy, so I like classic lines ~

Sanger V-210 - low freeboard, traditional transom ... timeless design that will never look dated (imo)

And can't count out the early Nautique 210's with that trademark sloped transom and a FCT ...

(rallyart) · (rallyart) **Join Date: Nov 2006** 09-11-2008, 8:25 PM

Any Sanger

akman 09-11-2008, 8:42 PM

03' 210 for me...classic look and a wake making machine.

Nautique 2001. Pure and simple. Nothing like it. Not designed as a wakeboat ofcourse, but still... Other than that, I'm with Gramps.

(ncboarderboy) · (ncboarderboy) **Join Date: Aug 2007** 09-11-2008, 10:23 PM

As far as looks i would say calabria because they have the coolest looking tower. other than that i like the SAN210 and Supra 22ssv

(bigjokerinthebox66)

Looks alone, then I would say the X-Star.

(reachjims) · (reachjims) **Join Date: Aug 2007** 09-12-2008, 3:38 AM

(jujube) · (jujube) **Join Date: Aug 2008** 09-12-2008, 6:58 AM

I'd go for the RZ2 Tige with the new tower - navy blue and lime green. :-)

(bird_dog0347) · (bird_dog0347) **Join Date: Feb 2006** 09-12-2008, 7:05 AM

I love the look of the 24SSV (especially Marty's), the X Star is HOT, and the new RZ4 looks pretty sweet too. I really dig the new windshield on the Bu LSV, that boat looks mean as well.

(polarbill) · (polarbill) **Join Date: Jun 2003** 09-12-2008, 8:27 AM

Is it me or does that Illusion style tower on the RZ4 look way too short. It is really out of proportion.

I still think it is a sick looking boat though.

(kmcginty) · (kmcginty) **Join Date: Sep 2005** 09-12-2008, 8:45 AM

(meathead65) · (meathead65) **Join Date: Sep 2006** 09-12-2008, 8:49 AM

I wish Sanger would build a closed bow V Drive...the DXII with a V Drive would be sexy....
kind of a play on the Corvette malibu, but realistically priced and available.

I would say X Star. When slammed they just look like a hot rod on the water.

I also like the VLX with the bimini on the reverse tower. The only company that does the bimini right.

Ill have to say, my favorite of all time, '03 Svfara 609. Although they went out of business, they made some damn find boats, and proudly Canadian too!! Wish i got the chance to pick one up, a friend had a 609 identical to this but in orange.

#1 That exact boat in gramps picture. Will hold it's style forever. san 210 will always be the best boat. style, wake, quality
#2 Mid 2000's wakesetter with illusion tower with that cool black and blue that malibu makes.
#3 Centurion Enzo

I love this boat. It's for sale, but I hope no one buys it.

8.1 Big block. More weight/wake than most people can handle. You can't stop it from getting on plane.

star_star 09-16-2008, 8:36 AM

J-Rod, what prop are you running on your 8.1L XStar? i have an 08 with the 8.1 and i propped down to the 14.75 X 15.5 OJ. i believe it could pull my double-wide off of the blocks and down the levee into the lake. i am really curious to know if MC is really going to offer a 500 hp supercharged small-block. beautiful boat, by the way. question?....are all of those small decals on the side of the stern "kills" or injuries suffered while riding behind your boat?

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 09-16-2008, 9:13 AM

14.75 X 15.5 baby! Running the same one! The boat slow idles damn close to 5mph. We were spinning too mnay RPMs with the other prop.

The 8.1 is truely special. We just keep adding weight, and the wake keeps getting bigger. The 8.1 doesn't break a sweat.

I'm looking forward to the SC small block. Nothing like big block torque though.

Nah, no one has been hurt on this boat actually. Those are just some custom graphics by Squared Off Designs.

I'd throw my vote to the Bu (and the wife approved so i wrote a check... and she cares about how it looks, i don't) and the MC x-star comes in second with regards to looks. And i will toss in a photo of my boat to the thread just for fun.

C'mon now if anyone out there is a wakeboard freak you all need to admit that when you saw the picture of the all black X-Star back in 03 when it came out... you were were crankin' one out. You know the poster with Zane and parks in the boat, couple hot models with boobs out for show, Derek Grasman standing on the platform at water level dipping his board in the water I think....c'mon admit it, that was almost as good as decent porno!
