I recently spent a week at Lake Powell (Utah) and one of the boats in our flotilla was a new G25. This was my first experience in and behind one of these beasts. It's a BIG boat. Normally my on-the-water time is spend on a slalom ski and occasionally on a wakeboard. I finally had the chance to get a couple of pulls behind a big surfing / wakeboard machine. For boarding, the wakes were frighteningly large. I'm accustomed to my 1994 Ski with an extended pylon, so a big, defined,rampy boarding wake was a new experience. After getting launched several times, I decided to quit before hurting myself. Surfing was a new experience. I've "long-boarded" in the Pacific many times (my wife is fro San Diego), but surfing behind a boat was pretty cool. That says a lot coming from a die-hard slalom guy... Some impressions: - G25 burns a LOT OF FUEL - Makes my Ski look like a Hobbit boat - Top speed is low to mid 30's (5,200 rpm) - Don't try to ski behind it - Could use a bow thruster I don't plan on upgrading any time soon. (I'll save my $200K) JQ ------------- Current 2003 Ski Nautique 206 Limited Previous 2001 Ski Nautique Open Bow 1994 Ski Nautique Open Bow Aqua skiing, ergo sum |
