I’m looking for a budget boat for a friend. He would like to dabble in surfing—in addition to have a good all round boat—replacing a 21’ I/O. His budget is tight. 30 to 35K max. There is a very clean 215 Maristar nearby. This appears to be the cruiser version of the X15 2007.
Who knows anything about this boat? If it doesn’t have any factory ballast is there room for a significant ballast system? I am very handy and can plumb one in with/for him. Right now I can’t tell if it has any factory tanks. It does possess a tower and a perfect pass, which is great. It’s also very very clean with 240 hours.
I can envision a few things, but mostly adding adequate ballast and using a suckgate to get him surfing. From there we could install go surf assist, or make a slapper system. I know raising the platform could come into play.
It has a 5.7/310 hp Indmar. I assume I could prop this appropriately to get the lug we need.
For anyone who knows much about these boats, please chime in. Thank you so much guys.
