This Week: Waterski / Wakeboard Boats
Supra Comp LTS
| As they say, a consistent, level-best performance is what makes a champion skier. You could say the same thing about their boats. That's why for over 21 years, the most demanding 3-event skiers have chosen Supra Comps time and time again. The Comp LTS takes what's great and makes it better-both in performance and luxury. Sleek new styling and improved hull design means you can count on incredible USA WaterSki approved wakes and superior performance day in and day out. Better yet, you can get it without giving up the finer things: plush seats, lots of storage, and the powerful look of a world-class ski boat. More from this builder... |

Supra Launch 21
| We doubt that wakeboarding would be as popular today without the Launch series. After all, it was the Launch's classic hull that created those first tasty wakes that got thousands of wakeboarders hooked on the sport. Today's Launch 21 is significantly deeper than any other boat in its class-making for a drier ride, smoother cruising, and better safety for kids and clumsy adults. However, when it comes to performance, you'll understand why this is truly a classic. More from this builder... |

- Tige Switch i
Tige Switch i
| The Tige Switch i is an AWSA Record Capable slalom towboat, and it's got the slalom world buzzing with its incredibly faint, clean wakes and creature comforts not usually found in a serious slalom boat. No wonder it's the boat of choice for TeamTige member and co-World Slalom Record holder Jamie Beauchesne. But a quick adjustment of the TAPS2 switch and riders in the boat will be grabbing their boards for the impressive ConvexV wake. The Switch i freeboard is deeper than any other 20-footer, keeping passengers safe, comfortable and dry. More from this builder... |
Sanger DXII
| The DXII is an all-out, all-event towboat built for serious and competitive watersports. The traditional closed bow three-event configuration puts driver and skier first and offers secure gear storage in the bow and stern lockers. Acceleration, throttle response and steering are everything a tournament driver could ask for, and the slalom wakes are world-class. The DXII also provides the best barefoot wakes on the water. It is the first inboard to obtain full AWSA barefoot certification in more than a decade, and the experts at WaterSki magazine gave this boat perfect marks for barefoot performance.

It features a hull that has gone through years of development, design and redesign, to achieve soft and low wakes for skiers and a nice ramp for wakeboarders. Even with the engine moved aft, the Eclipse V-Drive throws what the 2000 WaterSki Magazine Test Team called "The most slalom friendly wakes we've ever encountered on a V-drive boat."

Mastercraft X-2

It's also setup to increase the boat's wake size with just the push of a button. The X-2's Triple KGB ballast system fills 3 tanks inside the boat to weight it with up to 1000 lbs of water. That makes it easy to adjust the wake size for beginners, intermediates and even professionals. More from this builder... |
