Ski boats were way much more fun. We did so many more life threating things behind them than just pumping a little surf board at 10mph 2ft from the swim platform.. Side note for those of you making 30 year payments on those gawd awful looking things with 400 lbs of stereos and 2000 lbs of water INSIDE the boat, this Mastercraft was $12k with the trailer from the original factory in TN. (Yes I am loving becoming that grumpy old man!) All bull**** aside, enjoy them while you got em'. Life is fleeting.

Nope

We have that same boat sitting in Parker AZ,, But i don’t think skiing behind the G would be any fun !!

I looked at the G25 but didn’t see the added value and the surf wave was not as good as the 23, guessing with the extra bow length it compromised the wave a bit, but with a added bags they are able to get a good wave but give up all of that storage.

There were some Fukin Idiots surfing behind a 38or so Fly bridge cruizer this summer by our place going up and back for about an hour. Talk about Carnage.
Some people have NO Respect for others.

Aren't people responsible for their wakes? If the dooche bag is going up and down causing damage can't he get recorded and held responsible?

Good Luck proving that one !! Better have a detailed picture of the boat and driver, AND the wake ! I am serious, that is what the officer said.

CAN they be held accountable? In theory, yes. ARE they held accountable? From my experiences on Table Rock, doesn't seem to happen. I know of a couple of well-documented incidences that clearly show the boat, the driver, the registration numbers...everything...and it is much more difficult than what it should be to get any sort of conviction. Put it THIS way: have you ever seen a report where someone was charged? In Missouri, the Highway Patrol has authority on the lakes, but I have NEVER seen or heard of anyone being ticketed.
I would imagine insurance companies, e.g. the dock owner's vs the boat owner's end up settling these things...and maybe the worst that happens is a premium increase for the perp?

Many, many years ago when I first got into boating...early '80s time frame, I spent a lot of time on a local city lake of about 700 acres in size. In my opinion it had THE best 'control' I'd ever seen...very simple...you got ONE warning and then they impounded your boat. Was VERY effective, lol!

The interiors on those things are light years ahead of powerboats, when I was redoing my interior I got all my ideas and materials from the Wake boats at the Boat show.

Dont hate the Boat , hate the operator....

I have had many Wakeboats, been Wakeboarding since the 90s and always was cautious and courteous of other boats, kayaks , and docks...

Wakeboarding and wake surfer is A LOT of fun. The same thing some of you say about Wakeboats is the same thing some people think of us with Go Fasts.

Im a big fan of Supra Boats....awesome interiors, insane wakes, Ford Raptor powered engines and more exclusive then the other brands.
