Thinking about getting a twin screw X-80.. Has anyone boarded or surfed behind one? Comments???

We rode on one at Gaston a few years ago. They attempted to run a surf contest with it, and it was horrible. Its size made it very hard to sink enough to get a good wake/wave out of. I was not a fan at all.

Thanks Cary,
I ride Goofey so I'm Looking at a big boat with a right hand twist prop. It seemes everone went left handed which makes it hard to get the wave going like single screw righties.

Try looking this up over at Wakeworld. I've seen a few of the same questions over there. The response seems to be its too big to get a good wake or surf wave going.

Also unless you leaving this on a lake you have to consider how big it is to store and drag around.

Get a Malibu 247 or Enzo 240. Both have great goofy wakes. We've never had a problem with goofy wakes behind our BUs.

Enzo 240 all the way, We have one the wake is SWEET but Krich has a 247 and from the pics I see it is very nice too. I can get you behind the 240 sometime this summer might even be selling it this year.
