Enzo 230 reverse prop or Nautique 211- goofy wake

I am looking for a new boat but have no chance to test. I have never surfed behind any of the two I've only seen pics that show some pretty impressive wakes from both of them. We're all goofy footers and only want to wakesurf the sickest wake. Which out of the two do you think will do the best job and especially which will handle rough water better, as there's usually some chop on our lake.

Never been behind a Nauti 211. The Enzo wake properly weighted is stellar.

if you get a Nauti you'll need to get an 04 or older (or is it 05?) because they switched the prop rotation.

Is there a reverse prop option on the Centurions?

Does anyone know if any other boat manufacturers offer reverse prop options?

You can order Reverse rotation on the new Centurions. It can not be added after teh boat is build so you have to special order it so it has to be a brand new boat.

I've mailed Centurion and they said it's possible to
change the prop and v/d unit for around 3500 US. Anybody tried that ?

Why not just find a boat that surfs well on both sides?
Malibu VLX, MC X-15, Centurion Avalanche all surf well on both sides.

from what I've read and seen the vlx or most others can't match the Enzo wake or maybe the nautie(but I'm not sure about that). vlx is supposed to have a steep and a short wake. I just want the best possible boat for the goofy wake.

We just ran two Avalanches at NWL Wakesurf Nationals. One Calibrated Team rider commented that the wake behind both boats was the most balance of any competition that he had been in.

See this post, pictures 5 and 6: http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/491187.html?1187698951

Both boats that were at Nationals were Avalanches, not Avalanche C4s. The hull is the same as the C4 but I really like the walk through for surfing.

When setting up for goofy we put two 400s on the walk through and a 750 behind the driver. We also have 270 pounds in the bow.

On the regular boat the walk through became a really nice place to store boards.

I've never ridden behind an Enzo or 211. I've read that the reverse rotation prop Enzo has a very good wake on both sides.

Ed - was one regular prop and one reverse prop?

congrats on what looked to be a great contest!

our VLX wake is massive on the wrong side, I am jealous.

Thanks on the props.

No, just regular Avalanches.
