WAKES

Todd wrote: What is the wake like behind the Sport Nautique (1997) for skiing. How does it compare to the ski nautique. I love to ski but kids love to wake board. Any knowledge would be great.

I am more familiar with the 98 sport which
has exactly the same hull as the 98 nautique.
It is 1.5 feet longer, and 200lbs heavier. So, the ski wake is good. Very similar to adding and extra 200 lbs into a ski nautique.

If I recall correctly, the 97 Sport Nautique
has approximately the same hull as a 96 Ski
Nautique (TSC hull was introduced on Ski Nautique in 97, but the hull for Sport Nautique was not revised until 98.

Again, the boat is 1.5 feet longer and appoximately 200 lbs heavier. The wake should
be very good unless you are doing short line
course skiing. At recreational levels and
for course skiing by mere mortals, the
ski wake should be very good. As for wakeboarding, many claim that the 97s put
out a larger and better shaped wake than
the 98s, particularly when weighted with ballast.
