How's the wake on Calabria?

I am looking at, either a 2004 SPORT COMP VTS - 24' or CAL-AIR PRO V - 24'. The ad is not specific and I have not contacted the seller yet. I am also looking at a 2002 CAL-AIR PRO V - 24'. Can anyone tell me what kind of wake Calabria's put out? I am also looking at a 2002 22' Malibu Sunscape. I need all the information I can get about which boat puts out the best wake?

If weighted right, the pro-v throws a good wake. The ballast system is IMHO the easiest and quickest system out there (it is too bad that it is only 700 lbs). It is not a competition wake but still good.

It is however only 21 feet 6 inches long (23 with the platform) but has a fat ass (102" beam).

Rampy with wider flat transition. Flat is the key to a solid wake. Actually a good wake for all skill levels. Until my kids can clear the wake they carve the big ramp. With a wider transition a Short rope length 55'-60' for newbs and adjust for more skill. Only problems for new riders is the speed. Wake doesn't clean up until 19-20mph. But the wake will get very big with more weight, 1200-1500#.

As far as best wake, that is personal choice. The Pro V is more rampy than vert. Does make a great surf wake.
