Test drove and rode the new new X2 today.
-Full ballast
-full sac in the walkway (~400 lbs)
-one fatbuddy (~350 lbs) in each rear locker
-two side sacks (~250 lbs) on the floor
-a 100 pounder on the passenger side to balance the boat.
So about 1700 pounds extra. One person driving.
Jess is 5'5" and rides at 23 mph at 70 feet.
The wake was clean, mellow transition a-la XStar, and reminded us both of a wedged v-ride (VLX).
It seemed smaller than our X2 (X1) which we usually ride with about 1200 and sometimes 1550 on top of stock ballast.
My verdict is that I prefer the X1 wake due to it being peakier.
Room is awesome for such a short boat. The short bow and sundeck really maximize space. I am still not a fan of the bow, but like this one better than the look of the X-Star, but to each their own.
