nice boat! if u r considering buying it, u should be aware of a few things;
- the horsepower level and speed require specialty ins. translation mega
$. ask me how i know
- the hull bottom will allow about 85mph b4 chine walk kills you. i made the mistake of
turning my 250 eagle into a 92mph boat and even w/tabs was a handful.
eliminators are amongst the best and i am moving toward a 28 daytona twin with 565 mercs in the fall.
The boat looks nice for sure, but it is more than ballast and a tower that makes a good wakeboard wake. I am in no way saying that people cannot use the boat for that. Heck, we started with a 18' flat bottom. People put towers on bayliners, but I would like to see it perform first. My buddy had a 28' Chaparel deck boat and that thing threw an awesome wake, no ballast. Wakeboat hulls are designed to displace a lot of water. I would venture to say that it would not tow or track like a tow boat, as there was no mention of tracking fins or the underwater gear. but I have been wrong before.
There are some very nice features on that boat, but besides a swimstep and tower, what makes it any different than putting a tower on a different go fast boat?
Good write up none the less
