Built For Watersports

One of the biggest draws of a wake boat is that it’s built specifically for an optimized watersports experience. The engine, for starters, is often inboard and usually faces backward to increase the wake’s size. They’re also placed at the stern for a deeper draft.

Wake boats also use ballast, often built-in and adjustable, to draft lower still. If it’s not built-in, it often comes in the form of water-filled hard tanks or sandbags.

Finally, they utilize a unique hull shape and a rudder propeller and fins to help get the perfect wake size and shape for thrills. Many wake boats allow you to use hydrofoils to alter the wake’s shape manually from the console!

Unmatched Agility

Wake boats utilize a number of features for maximum handling and control. First and foremost is cruise control, allowing you to maintain a steady speed through any maneuver. This helps keep the towline taut and ensures the watersports enthusiasts at the end have as much control as possible. 

They’re also adept at course corrections and changes and can turn easily, helping you to navigate the boat and anyone towing behind it through any waterway.

Storage and Leg Room

Watersports are always more fun in a large group, which is why so many wake boats are built with spacious layouts and ample storage space. You need room to bring the family, friends, and other loved ones on the water with you without crowding or overburdening the vessel. More than that, you need space for snacks and drinks and to store extra safety and watersports gear like personal flotation devices, wakeboards, and more. A wake boat has all that and more!

Cutting-Edge Tech

Last but certainly not least, wake boats are packed with all the latest technologies and advancements to help you get the absolute most out of your maritime adventures. Large stereo systems with Bluetooth® connectivity let you add your own soundtrack to your time on the water while touch screen systems help drivers control things like ballast, wake size and shape, and speed. The screen also displays key information about the boat’s status from fuel level to engine temperature, and that’s just the start of what wake boats can provide!
