The Excel's wake is quite different than the Sport of that era. The Excel's wake is wide and hard with defined lip and high flat table. They did not have the more dished table of the Sport. The wake of the Barefoot (454) is still different than that of the Excel (351) due to the significant extra weight of the engine. The Barefoot's wake table is rampier and slightly harder. They are great beginner to intermediate board wakes esp. with ballast.

We Loved our Excel; sorry I sold her but she DID NOT handle like a SNOB or ski like a SNOB. Great big water/rough water boat. Hard high flat wake table great for footing and wake boarding. Hard edges for skiing... the Non-Pro Boss 91 & 92's were slightly underpowered. But you will never spend more comfortable time in a Correct Craft - smooth ride, quiet and ergo-excellent. VERY live-able, just not so ski-able......

The fellow who bought the Excel from me surfed with her. Not quite sure of the ballast setup but it can be done (I'm not a big fan of the near swamping setup of surfing these era boats).

New to the forum, does the nautique excel throw a good wake for wakeboarding?
