Nice looking boat! Not a big fan of the tower, but otherwise looks great. What options? More pics

Is it a 20V? We saw a 22V on Sunday that we really liked. Take some pics of the wake and tell us how you like it when you get it out! Nice Boat! Wink

Thanks! Yes, it's a 20V Riders Edition. I rode in a clinic behind a 22V, which has a very nice wake. This boat, when weighted has a very similar wake to the 22V (so I hear). I'll post wake pics when we get it in the water. We're currently designing a custom 1700lb semi-automatic ballast system and have plans to add Perfect Pass. I wasn't a big fan of the tower to begin with either, but it's growing on me.

Sweet boat. I kind of like the way the tower looks, although it looks like a bit of a chore to get the boards up there. Do those not come with ballast (only taps)? Or does it need more? I'm thinking about installing semi auto fill/empty to my sacs in my Maristar. I've seen a couple of posts here, but I'd appreciate hearing the details about your design if you have them.

Nice looking boat. I rode behind a 2002 20v last year unweighted and the wake was nice, just small. I have a 2001 20i and the wake is steeper when weighted, but it is real touchy trying to keep the wake from washing out.
The 20v's wake was nice and gradual. It reminded me a lot of a Malibu unweighted. From everything I've seen on here the 20v once weighted will throw out a sweet wake without washing over. Definately plan on adding ballast and throw up some pics of the wake when you take it out.
Enjoy,
Brad

the tiges dont come with internal ballast because they weight 800 lbs more with the quadra beams (wood wrapped in fiberglass) or what ever it's called. I really like the radio control on the transom. Have fun with it.

They offer two ballast options, level one is 600 pounds of 'ballast plates' placed throughout the boat and level two is 1500 lbs of water ballast, supposed to drain and fill in 5 minutes, we'll see.

Nice boat, looks great. I have a '01 metcraft tower, which is like that except for shape and the rope always stays on, never had it come off once Very Happy
