towing a wakeboard boat

[garey]

i was thinking about selling the ferrari and getting a wakeboard boat for the family.
with what the h2 weighs and all, is there not just a tow limit, but a limit to what my h2 will pull out of the water on a boat ramp, and can anyone recommend a decent boat?
thanks,
gary

Agreed. Almost look like a BOY! Just plain nastie.

I think I have only been about 65 or 70 mph on the Bay and that was fast enough for me. If you hit a wave at a certain angle you raise off your seat and hold on. Sometimes I thought I was going to fly out.

It was really fun though.

thanks for all the info. tried out one of these last sunday, a hurricane 20. it was kinda small for choppy waters in san diego bay, though: .

Did anyone go to the Shooters 21's shootout about 3 weeks ago on the Lake of the Ozarks? Was going to go when I was up in KC but didn't have time. Was told that one of the entrants had two consecutive runs over 200 MPH. Now that is fast!

[h2co-pilot]

Okay, so it was more of a 22' Scarab than a 37' . (I have consulted with my homies. )

It had a wakeboard pole, so you could take it off and just go really fast or troll around with the family.

But this 20' mastercraft or something of the like would do fine. Dry, it weighs 3,050 lbs and it can tow 1,590 lbs. I don't know if I would personally ever buy a "new" boat, "used" would be the way to go. A lot of people buy them and end up selling because they don't use it.

And I really just wanted you to change your avatar. I don't know anything about boats. But I did research in good faith for your avatar change.

There's nothing wrong with a 20-23' CC. Board, tube, fish, whatever you want. Plus there's not all that upholstery to deal with. Just hose it out.

Depends on where you are going to be using it. Used to have a lake house in MO and for skiing we had a 23' Cobalt but to for cruising the lake in comfort it was a 36' Formula. On that lake you needed something bigger or you got the sh!t beat out of you. Down here is a completely different story. Unless you need the room for people, 20'-23' is more than enough, but that is here. Like HummerJohn and Paragon said, you can get something to go fast. I have done over 100 Mph on the water and HOLY SH!T that is fast

Not my boats, so there are no pics of me piloting them at those speeds, because I didn't. I didn't have the balls to take someone else's $500K to the edge. Here are some more pics of other boats we ran.
