I know this boat is new for 2009 in the V drive style. Though, I was curious to know if anyone has had a chance to have one of these out on the water. What did you think of it? My wife has came around and actually likes a lot of things about this boat. However, due to it being on a ski hull, I am a little skeptical about it being used for a wake boat.

It's not bad stock, but as it is with most ski-hulled boats, you are going to want/need more weight than what is stock. That being said you should be able to plum in bigger sacs and then maybe add some lead, other fat sacs, or have a full boat.

Not interested in CC, the dealer here is not someone I want to deal with. Its unfortunate... but that is how it is. Plus I have looked and as an overall product line, I just never got excited about them.

My new Shorter list is
Mastercraft X-14V, X2
Supra Launch 21SSV
Malibu V-Ride, VTX,VLX

MB, X1, Axis, Moomba are pretty much out at this point and never really considered Tige' or CC.

Plus, I dont see inverts in my future. I would say intermidiate is about as far as I am interested in going. Though, you never know. I do enjoy a wide range of water sport interest overall, even if wakeboarding is my favorite.

Not sure about your age or interests, but you might want to look into something with more of a wake specific hull as you might want to get into wakesurfing sometime. The x2 is definitely one of my favorite boats no doubt. I have not skied behind it, but boarding, surfing, and relaxing on that boat is amazing. I also am a big fan of how fly high has a ballast system already designed for MC's so you just plumb it in and you then have that much more ballast at your finger tips.

29, interest pretty much in my above post. Think more corss functional family boat here as well.

In my opinion, if you enjoy a broader range of watersports with more of an interest in the boarding ones (surf, wakeskate, wakeboard) the X2 would be my pick hands down.
