SportsMake: F23 TomcatYear: 2008Engine: GMC LQ4 Vortec 6.0L Power: 330 hp / 365 ft/lbsHours: Boat-112hr / Engine-5hr The 2008 MB Sports F-23 Tomcat also has a dual battery system, motorized engine hatch access, integrated ballast system , tower integrated lights system, swinging board mounting rack system, tower mounted rear view mirror, Perfect Pass cruise control, and heater system with vents. Four Clarion High-end speakers with Six 10in subwoofer and a 600-watt amp.Built-in bimini that’s large and well-designed. Anodized accessories, too many billeted touches to list them all. Graphics in the gelcoat, so no decals to scratch off. Hull: When combined with MB Sports’ Wake Plane hull, the twin-forked bow of the MB Sports F23 Tomcat helps trap air at the front of the wakeboard boat for increased speed and more efficient turning. And it does the trick on chop, too. MB Sports calls the 2008 F23 Tomcat the best rough water boat they’ve ever built.Ballast: MB Sports is known for providing great standard ballast on all their wakeboard boats, and the MB Sports F23 Tomcat sets the benchmark with a total capacity of 2,400 lbs. That’s enough wake-shaping weight to please most any rider. And with all that water contained in a pair of tanks that run the length of the boat, the ride is stable and balanced.Tower:MB Sports designers planted the F23 Tomcat’s signature tower at the most stable point of the boat, resulting in a setup that reduces the affects on the boat when a wakeboarder pulls hard. And the swept-forward design, which is taller than most towers at nearly seven feet, adds to the F23 Tomcat’s good looks.Highlight feature: Aggressive styling. The F23 Tomcat is low-slung, sleek and well-dressed (especially our all-black, stealth-mode test model). The signature Tomcat graphics package complements the design, as does the swept-forward F23 wakeboard tower. And with upholstery color-keyed to match whatever paint job buyers choose, a truly custom look comes standard on this wakeboard boat.The wake: Our testers loved the wake behind the F23 Tomcat, describing it as, “just perfect.” With ramps that are not too rampy and not too steep, the F23 Tomcat will please a wide variety or wakeboarders, from cautious beginners to pop-hungry pros.
