I was just wondering when the major waterski hulls were changed for the Ski Nautiques since 1980 (what years). Also, how have the wake charecteristics changed since then. How good is the new hull, and when did it change? What are the big differences between now and the early '80's? Thanks in advance for the replies.

Chip, How good is the hull for what? Sking or wakeboarding? This question is very general. There are plenty of people on C.C.F. including my self that would love to help. You have to let us know what your lookin for. There were several changes to the hull since 1980 and this could be talked about for hours. Just rethink the question and the advise will poor in. -Brad-

Well, I was wondering mainly about waterskiing on the closed bow Ski Nautiques. But if anyone wants to give their two cents worth about a wakeboarding hull that would be interesting too.

I am no expert, but I think CC has made the following hull changes after the "2001" models:

1990: Minor hull change with the major change being SRP or Spray Relief Pockets. Wake flatter and softer with less spray than "2001" models. Probably the major contributor to the flatter wake is due to the light weight of the boats over the "2001". The weight savings was due to a thinner composite as result of using biaxial roving (in lieu of woven roving) and epoxy resin (among other things). I understand that these boats throw a decent wake when loaded down for wakeboarding. No experience here at all...just what I have heard.

1997: Major hull change with the introduction of TSC or Total Surface Control. I understand that this made a huge difference in flattening and softening the wake for water skiiing. I have heard conflicting stories on how good or bad the boats are for wakeboarding when loaded down. I think not so good (peaky wake?).

2002: Minor refinement of TSC with the introduction of TSC2. Even softer and flatter wake than TSC, but no clue on effects of adding weight for wake boarding.

Hope this helps. Seems to me that CC introduced boats geared to wakeboarding with the advent of TSC because of wake issues. Not sure here, but maybe others with TSC can chime in how they perform when weighted.

The Total Surface Control wake is a great skiing wake as David said but just isnt very good even with a lot of ballast. Thats why the TSC2 hull is in such demand. Great skiing and with weight puts out a nice wake for recreational wake sports.
