Best boat for wakesurfing...opinions fly!

Ok I am sure this is going to stir some debate but I want to see if there is any consensus on what the overall BEST boat for wakesurfing is?
Of all the boats out there, which one throws the biggest, cleanest wake on both sides of the boat for regular and goofy riders. Ideally without a ton of bags on the seats, hopefully plumbed in....aftermarket add ons ok. The only kicker is the boat cannot be over 22' long.

Let the opinions fly!

Boats are like woman, everybody has different taste. Any boat with enough weight will throw a wave, but my list for 22" is

Centurion Avalanche
MC X25
Supreme V226
Tige R2 or Ve

All good. I thought you wanted 22 foot or shorter.

Comment was not at you, we must have posted at the same time. There are a lot of great boats and you just need to test as many as possible. I have never seen a Sanger wave, but I hear great things about the boat.

I was thinking that in boats under 22 feet the Sanger is really good. Those boats are really good as well just over 22 feet. Of those I am partial to the Supreme and the RZ2. Just my limited opinion though. Test them all if you can get the dealer to weight them properly.

I will test the ones I can get my hands on. And yes, 22' or less.

I've been behind a lotof boats but never surfed anything better than a Tige RZ2. The new Tige RZR/R20 looks great as well but haven't had a chance to actually surf behind it yet-only pulled others.

looks to me like the Sanger is turning, could be a false representation. The wave will get a bit taller when turning

Sanger V215 on the darkside (Riders 5'5"-5'6")

(dennish) · (dennish) **Join Date: May 2005** 04-25-2011, 3:17 PM

not turning. Truly would be a great surf boat if it had a little more freeboard. I can't really sack it out during the summer.

here are some more summer weighted pictures.

Man thats a great wake dennis! So thats a Sanger V215?

(dennish) · (dennish) **Join Date: May 2005** 04-25-2011, 5:22 PM

It is a '05 V215 with the fixed wake plate.

(dennish) · (dennish) **Join Date: May 2005** 04-25-2011, 5:24 PM

Also has Fresh Air Exhaust.

I just sent you a message Dennis, mistake....thought you were selling your boat.
I am ordering the fresh air exhaust for my X2!

Best money you can spend on your boat. No CO and you can hear the music. Sent you a PM.

does it matter if it is turrning or not? I thought the whole point was to get a huge wave no matter how you get there?

I matters if you are riding on a river that is straight or in a contest. If you are on a lake it really doesn't matter. If you are comparing wake size or shape it is nice if they are all shot from the same angle and position on boat and they are all going straight.

It all depends on the weight, I have an 07 Mobius LSV and ride with about 3,000lbs at times, puts out a huge wake. It rides smoother and faster than my brother's 07 wakesetter vtx
