2001 Question ??

Not very familiar with Correct Crafts but here is my question . Read somewhere that the 2001 model throws a good wake for wakeboarding . Then the discussion went on to say that for a 3 to 4 year span , it was exceptional . Does anyone know what model years these were ??
                             THANK YOU

Jeff welcome to the site. from my understanding the 2001 hulls were all the same, but the decks changed. I don't know the years but at some point they moved the windshield/dash forward creating a little more room but which would have made subtle changes to the wake characteristics with the weight further forward. In 89 they went to single exhaust (quieter, but lost that great rumble) and the 1.23:1 tranny instead of the 1:1

Trying to do some investigating but majorly computer challenged over here . Snobsessed - Was the 2001 model only made between 1982 - 1989 ?? Or were those the years for REALLY good wakes ??

THANK YOU !!

I bought my 1985 SN 2001 because I heard it has a "world class" wake for wakeboarding. We are pretty satified plus we own a head turning classic and what amounts to a low cost, kick a@# wakeboard boat. I bought a Flight Pipe extended pylon (found one on craigslist). It clamps on to the stock pylon so I did not have to remove or disturb the iconic ski ring on the factory pylon. We may get a tower for the boat some day but for now, the Flight Pipe fits the bill. Will be adding some ballast next season.....my kids are improving quickly and we load up the back with their buds who are eager for a boat ride and to see some big air tricks! Adding some weight makes HUGE difference. Have fun, good luck and go BIG!

As evidenced in the picture, there are some familial FEATURES on the Super Sport /Super Air that are similar to those on the 2001. But to say the hulls are identical is a real stretch. The hull was largely based on the DD Sport, which in turn was a stretched version of the NWZ, which was one hull generation removed from the 2001. I'd say they are distant cousins.

Faceplant, while completely unrelated to the better wake you're seeking, that speed holding problem you're having is almost certainly a prop issue- you'd benefit from a modern prop with less pitch.

Is there a preferred prop pitch that will be good for wakeboarding and slaloming ? I am kind of clueless to this . Also , if you had a 2001 and a regular Ski Supreme both weighed down with about 800 lbs of ballast , approximately how much of a difference would there be in wake size ? Would like a better wake but just weighing the pros and cons of selling my boat and buying a 2001 . Like I said in an earlier post , love my boat but might have to be " OFF WITH THE HEAD ". LOL .
Also - how do I post pics ON HERE ??   THANKS .   

It isn't about the size of the wake it's about the shape of the wake. The 2001 hull produces a very nicely shaped wake with a perfect lip.

I had to make my buddy believe that who has a lx response with a wake wedge. My boat shoots him sky hi with no weight VS his Malibu loaded up with weight and people with the wedge down.

The Supreme is much more a flat bottom ski boat therefore probably will not produce the same pop off the wake when you want to get some air. The 2001 is notorious for not having the best slalom wake though. The bump will get you.

To produce these kinds of tiny level getting somebody to cook cooking area operable is always to contain food preparation pieces of equipment that will are powered by the particular water gas.

Ummmmm, your statement is contradiciting itself ...

You want a wider wake but it's hard to clear wake to wake with the 81?
If you are having a hard time clearing the wake then you need to shorten the length, step up the speed on the boat, or cut harder into the wake. Edging thru and up the ramp gets you the pop/height you need without losing speed.

Do you have a tower ? In my 79 Ski Supreme with about 400 lbs ballast and only my girlfriend as a driver ( bad bad me - but I live in the boonies so no one around here to observe ) home made pole and 22 mph , I can clear the wake with about 5 - 10 feet to spare . I like it but very seldom do I get that POP feeling that is associated with the 2001 model . I kind of wonder if I got the POP feeling , would I still get the same distance or just more height . I'm 49 so I'm never going to be doing any flips or anything like that - just want more air and preferably more distance . LOVE that air time    !!!!!! LOL .

I installed a big air h2o tower earlier this year. I am using a 75 ft line. I will see what impact the two 260 lbs fat sacks have on the wake. what is the difference between the 2001 hull wake and an 81 ski nautique wake.

This isn't necessarily true either. The BFN has a deep vee but it isn't near as good for boarding than a 2001 hull. Even the Super Air and Sport/Air hulls are much less of a vee and flat at the stern.

The Pre-2001 hulls have a narrower wake because the overall beam is narrower, especially at the stern. You can still get a pretty good wake with a pre '82 2001 hull but it will definitely be steeper. You have to have good edge control coming in and stiff knees to "control" the pop. Even 2001 hulls weighted with a lot of ballast the wake gets very steep and likes to boot you straight up. It's still one of my favorite boarding wakes. Playing with line-length will also get different results in wake shape. The further back you go it will be more manageable. 75' is really nice with about 1500 lbs of ballast on a 2001 hull.
   Even the NWZ hulls '90-96 have a pretty nice wake with 1200-1500 lbs. I'm anxious to see how the wakeboarding wake will be on my '02 but I'm guessing it will be marginal at best. Haven't boarded behind it yet, and I've been having too much fun on the slalom to even care!

OK, I am *not* trying to be a party pooper here... just commenting/asking.

Is it a good idea to have passengers aft of an extended pylon? My sister has a client in Minnesota who's daughter was killed when the strap and pylon failed. I don't know what boat or what model pylon, but the physics is pretty much the same (although maybe not the engineering and maintenance).

I eventually plan to add a wake tower to our SN, and once I am comfortable with its strength, I plan to allow passengers on the aft seat. We see ski and boarding teams doing this all the time. The mounting of a tower seems much stronger than the strap to the front on an extended pylon (the factory pylon itself is incredibly strong).

Thoughts, comments, flames?

p.s. not trying to hijack, ok with me if this gets moved to a separate thread.

The further forward you put your weight the more rampy and less peaky the wake will be, the further back you put it the more peaky, steep and brick wall like the wake becomes. I've been messing with this all summer long in my 87 sn2001, what works for us is two 400 pound fatsacs directly beside the motor box and 200 pounds under the bow with 2 passengers + driver sitting in the front. This is the closest to an unweighted super air wake we could get, albeit a lot narrower and let me tell you it's KILLER. $40K wake for under 10 grand, you can't beat that. As for pop, pop has more to do with your riding than the wake. I know people I think could backroll off an open bow bayliner wake. haha It's all in the technique!
