just went to find it on there website and it looks like they dropped it this year, i remember seeing it on there site last couple of years though.
From the outside it looks pretty funky, but the inside doesnt look to bad, minus that bathroom haha.

bet you could get a pretty decent surf wake on that thing.

Duffy. I think Mark Lord at Seattle Watersports has a new one for sale. It is a few years old as far as when it was built but is still new I think.

Nevermind, it sold.

That might be the worst interior layout I have ever seen on any boat..

Comfortably seats 6 people on a 24 foot rig.

It's a combo party barge thing- wakeboat. Very strange.

Yeah I remember when they came out and have seen quite a few of them. They never made it big in the wakeboard world

it looks like it still has a notch cut out in the the transom for the I/O to stick out. Looks like a Chaparral.

That boat is a "splash" of an I/O, I think it was based off the Chaparral Sunesta 236, but can't remember. I talked with Mike at the boat show one year about it, he said that the other company threatened to sue, but up to that point had not. Everything is the same with the exception of the drive and some other modifications to make it handle correctly.

Someone on our dock at Lake Powell has one and loves it except for the fact that it has a deep draft and they have to be extra careful when anchoring. They said that they have gone through a number of props.

Cobalt makes one of these too.... Not pretty. A lot of money for a run-about like boat.

SamIngram 02-15-2011, 12:52 PM

It might have been a Cobalt that they splashed, I can't remember. I think either Mike or someone else at the show said they splashed one that they bought at an auction that had burned, but I can't remember, that was years ago. Whatever it was it was almost and exact copy...

Whatever it is it's very weird!

Yeah I remember when these came out. It must have been an 05 model maybe 06. I kind of thought it could be a cool option for the family man in us but then you start to realize theres not much storage and no real sundeck. I thought it still had the Pure Vert but I didn't see that in the descriptions of the two posted here. If you could get it sacked out enough I wonder how the surf wave would be?

Who cares how it performs, "Fiberglass hull in real nice condition"! I'm buying that thing.

(fullspeed)

If I recall it being more of a Lake Tahoe type boat. More of a family cruiser and can handle some big waves. Not really a wakeboard boat type at all, but they put a tower on it to make it so you could.
