Super Ski Nautique

First question: what’s your budget? If the sky’s the limit I’d be ordering a Mastercraft X-24 no questions asked...

If your budget is somewhere in the $100k-$130k range I’d be looking at a Mastercraft X-23 or a Air Nautique G23/G24. In my opinion nothing out there compares to Mastercraft or Nautique in the high end wake boats. Plenty of lightly used options at that price point. Add $30k-$50k if you want a new one.

My wife and I have a Mastercraft X-2 and love it. It’s definetly doesn’t throw the same surf wave as some of the aforementioned boats but at least it’s paid for LOL ours is a 2008 and still looks/feels like new. The build quality is really second to none. I challenge anyone who disagrees to compare a 10 year old Mastercraft to any other boat out there and see how they look when the lipstick wears off a bit haha

i have heard those exact same words from several people about the master craft boats. I’m not bound by price, but I want something with some power to fly down the lake, that has enough room for all of us to spread out in and not be piled up on top of each other, is push button make it happen kinda thing.

A 23’ or 24’ MC will check off all your boxes. On some of those bigger boats you’ll want at least a 400HP option IMO. They have options from 300HP to 550hp (and maybe more?). This coupled with the tabs will get you on plain nice and quick. Plenty of room inside and the newer ones all have flipping seats and sun beds and rear flip up seats for spotters etc.

To put it in perspective ours is only 20’ with the pickle fork and routinely have up to 10 ppl in there with all our gear, coolers etc no problem. 24’ would be palatial! I’ll also run 3000 pounds in bags plus the factory ballast (and 5-9 people) and still be able to pull someone’s arms off with the 350.

Throws a pretty big wake! I usually surf 10ft behind the boat forsure . Big sweet spot! And for wakeboarding i have no complaints


575hp indmar raptor motor with roush supercharger! The thing sure moves for being 26’6” to the back of the swim platform!!

If you're looking for a basically new boat at a lower price point, my son has a pretty low hour 23' (I think) Moomba Mojo 2.5 for sale. 2015 I think. Don't know all the specs on it, but it throws enough wake to pizz off most of the people on Moyie Lake. Pretty much looks like it did in this pic when he bought it new. It was never off the trailer this year. Stored inside his shop in Sparwood. If you're interested PM me and I'll get you guys together.

Pretty tough to beat a G25 with supercharged motor. There are lots of big tub options out there in last few years, would recommend talk to Wizard Lake marine.

Big wave boats comes with lots of challenges too in costs. From what I’ve seen over the years people tend to overbuy what they need thinking they are going to be better riders with an expert boat. Just like golf clubs more expensive clubs don’t tend to make you a better golfer, tiger could still beat you with a hockey stick.
