|Hey riders, The boat industry seems to be producing bigger boats every year? When does the boat become to big and to wide for a good board ride? ex. xti,lsv 23,nati 226,tige v22,sang v230,calabria etc..Looking for pros& cons..|
|The ideal size for wakeboarding is around 21ft. The bigger boats are made more for big families or people that party more that wakeboard. A bigger boat usually has a wider hull making it harder to sink into the water to throw a big wake. The wake is then too wide to be ideal for most people. |
I think the boat manufacturers have a bigger profit margin on the bigger boats. That's why they keep coming out with bigger boats.
|Simple economics, they keep coming out with bigger boats because people buy them.|
|But, like said above it's all about displacement. A bigger boat requires more weight to create more proportional displacement which is what makes the wake bigger. |
|If the boats have a 102inch beam, what would be the rope length or how would you judge the lenght?|
