Sea Doo X-20

Has anyone been behind an X-20? I just got one but the ice is still on the lakes so I wont get to ride for a few weeks.

It seems nice, comes with a 240hp jet drive and has a built in 600lb "fat sac."

its a pump boat, all wash. Fun to drive but not a very good wakeboard boat at all

Have you been behind one or are you just assuming that it is all wash?
I havent ever been behind it but I have seen some people behing a challenger 1800 and it was all wash but they were going near 30mph too. I am hoping that adding another 500lbs on top of the 600lb fat sac it comes with and going around 20-22mph it will make a good wake..... hope so.

I have been beside one and talked to the people afterward. NOT a wakeboard boat, period.

If you can get pp for it to hold the speed it should be decent, but not tournament size.

I really have no Idea what it will be like, its a $25,000 boat, I dont expect it to perform like a $40,000 X Star.
I am going to use it for wake and knee boarding, as well as slalom skiing and tubing.
I just wonder if they would market a wakeboarding boat that has no wake.
Tell you what when I get in on the water will take pics and video and let you all know!

By the way this seems like a cool site! Thanks for all the help.

I dont know where you guys find cheap wakeboard boats at but all the ones I looked at were 35k plus. I dont want a used boat because I know how people treat their boats, like crap!
You are correct though, its a hell of alot better than being on shore.
What the hell I will just add weight untill it has a big enough wake Laughing

Adding weight should make the wake bigger, but will it hold it's line when pulling. Jet boats just skim across the water, so I would think as you pull the back end is going to go all over the place. The driver is going to be having a hell of a time holding their line. I haven't ridden behind a Jet boat, just a wave runner, I'll be interested to see how it works. They are fun though, 50mph then turning in your own wake, HOLD ON TIGHT! Good Luck!

Check out the link to a review under "yamaha wakeboard boat". Says that it holds its line very well.
