I am looking at this boat it is really nice for the yr and clean. It is a 19ft model and has tower and etc
I wanted to know how this might be for wakesurfing?
I notice that the hull seems to be deeper V and is V'd even at the back unlike most ski boats flatten out after the prop

I know that the wakeboarding wake is OK but inferior to the 2001-model. I'd guess the same goes for the surf wave, but not sure. Be aware that this one has wood stringers and floor. 454 is badass Smile

The boat is going to be pretty narrow. I think the surf wake is going to be hard to make really huge.

Not sure about wakesurfing but it should produce a good wakeboarding wake for the price not to mention the HP/torque to get the rider up when the boat is weighted.

There are lots of posts on Barefoot Nautiques on this forum if you want more details.
