I currently have a 2006 Speedster 200 Wake. We primarily use it for cruising around the lake. I want to wakeboard and surf off it every chance I can get, but a newborn has put a damper on my water sports ideas and going fast.
I love. I love. I love how fast this boat is. It moves. I’ve had jet skis try to race me on the lake and they’ve always looked puzzled s boat has left them in the dust. Wife doesn’t appreciate that too much, but I get a huge kick out of it.
I also like that it’s a nice looking boat, but it’s starting to look a little dated and it’s missing some of the bells and whistles of the newer boats, so I’ve been toying with the idea of upgrading, but I don’t know which way to turn. It’s also a little small, so I’d like a 24’ boat. I’ve thought about getting a 2012 230 Wake, but I’m not entirely sold. It appears the top speed is 51-53mph and it is still kind of older. I’ve looked at some Mastercraft boats and my god, they are nice, but expensive. I like the idea of getting a perfect wake to wakeboard or surf behind, but they don’t appear to move very fast. I also don’t like the idea of exposed props in the water as the kid(s) get older, so I’m leaning towards another jet boat. So, Yamaha comes to mind, but I don’t know anything about them. One thing that scares me about upgrading with bells and whistles is all of the computer conponents and LCD screens and such. I can’t imagine these parts are going to be cheap when they stop working and they will stop working. Hell, my weedless grate thingies were inoperative when I bought the boat and i’ve Removed the grates alltogether. My perfect pass doesn’t seem operative either and neither are highly technical parts. It just scares me that an LCD monitor that controls EVERYTHING is sitting there waiting to break, but these are the times we live in. All in all, I’m looking for more space, more creature comforts, speed and a jet boat.
I’m trying to get an idea as to what to look for. What say you? What will you be upgrading to and why? What’s important to you on the water?
