Maybe in the ocean! Haha

Off topic but mittens where do you do most of your boating? Reason I ask is because I picked up my 25OL about three months ago near dadeville, AL. I test drove it on Lake Martin if youre familiar with that water. Alabama is a beautiful part of the country!

Default 252 -

Thanks High bid, but really looking for a 252.

What are the speeds of a 252 w/

1. 454 MPI
2. 454 Mag MPI
3. 502 MPI
4. 502 Mag MPI

I know I always want the biggest I can find/afford, but finding it is a different story.

Default Plane at Speed

Does anyone know how the 252 is between 18-21 mph? Is it on plane, off plane, in between?

Has anyone ever wakeboarded behind a 252?

With everything down (trim and tabs) and a couple of light women in the bow we can plane our 252 at 20. No lower.

Trim up a little (off plane), tabs up and the thing will throw a huge (really really big) wake, but you will not technically be on plane in my book (bow high attitude). We do this to attract dolphins to the wake, they love to play and we love to watch.

Default Anyone know this boat in Canada

Does anyone know this boat in Canada? It is listed on kijiji and their email contact feature is not working. Maybe someone could try the link and email the guy on my behalf?

Yes a 252 at 20 is about as slow as you can go, and will need tabs and drive DOWN. tried to pull a knee boarder one time, thats was the only time i have pulled with the one i had.

Default Tow sports

Mittens - now Im nervous. . . what about pulling a wakeboarder?

I need to be able to run a steady 16-22 for tow sports. will a 252 do this?

What if I prop it for out of the hole instead of top end?

Look into an H2X maybe. I hear they are pretty good for watersports, shallow deadrise.
