For me this is a big step up from an old flat bottom centurion......

1988 Correct Craft Martinique, in for perfect pass install as we speak.

the hull looks pretty deep, from the back at least. all the better for weighting that thing down.

Looks great man. You have something to ride behind, and thats all that matters.

Holy crap man! I can't believe there is another Martinique out there! Dude...I ride behind one of those all the time! It is BY FAR the best wake I have ever ridden behind. That's saying alot, since I've ridden behind several SANTE weighted down, MC PS 205 slammed and I own a 05' V-Ride (old VLX hull) with 3000 pounds plus wedge. That thing's wake is sick! It's narrow like a SAN 210, and it's steep like one, but the wake is like there's a pissed off trampoline under it. It is simply unreal how high that dang wake bucks you. My friend's is a closed hull...and I'll have to ask to make sure, but I think he has 300 lbs. up front and 500 in the back. Also, if yours has trim tabs, take them off NOW! That made an unreal difference.
It's funny man, out on my friend's lake, one friend has a 05 SANTE, I bring my 05' V-Ride, and we still ride behind the Martinique more than any of them. Nice find man. I'm jealous. Want to sell it?

Wazzy, remember how I put 2200 pounds in the Centurion and the rub rail sat in the water?

I think this boat could take 4g easy if we want to man up to the gas.

I think Kmag's right. That thing will produce a great wake. And with PP, it will make it even better to maintain it.

Great find man. That boat looks to be in great shape. Congrats!! Now get out and sack that bugger out, and take pics! Mr. Green
