200 v drive?

[2gofaster]

I'm told CP ran into 41 and Rhoni Barton-Bischoff ran into 39 1/2 behind the 200vdrive.

Mattie makes a great point. I know numerous people/families who want a crossover boat, but not the size that most companies are offering. CP could run 41 off behind a 1987 Supra Comp with a headwind, so I don't put too much stake in that:-) The MC 214V has a sweet slalom wake for V, so I have know doubt a 200V will be that much better.

This is true. 200 v drive will appear in 2011 as we wave goodbye to the classic 216(not-V) and the legendary SV211. Now where the **** is that crying emoticon...?

Yep, for the wad of cash I'll need to drop for a better skiing V-drive...

About time!!

I have been trying to sell my 1992 ski desperately to get into a VTX for my length restricted lake. Perhaps I could just trade in and get on my way and not have to change out the stickers on my tow vehicle. I just hope N3 is my territory.

If this new 200v skis like I have heard it has.............it will sell like crazy. I know of two families ready to order a 2011 200, but are waiting to test the V first. Slalom wake + the room of a V drive= sales!!! In my opinion.

200 v drive

I would buy that boat in 10 - 15 yrs. (when it would be affordable) that would be an ideal boat for me... increase the height of the gunnels (not sure about proper marine lingo) to prevent water coming in boat........ would make it a little more multi-purpose. BU has 2 boats that this would compare to. yes more boat out of the water would add weight which would not please die hard skiers.... I love the saddle bag storage on the 200.

currently loving & Living with cluttered 98 SN closed bow

only roadblock will be similar to the 200 DD...price

I have seen, been in, and driven this incredible new boat. It is the real deal. More information coming soon!

[gride300]

i think it would be a huge step in the right direction for them to take some suggestions from folks on this site and maybe on ccfan as well. i'm not saying my personal input would be of value, but there are plenty of people here who could help in the lay out and features.

Does it look identical to the 200 except the seating layout? Any idea when the rest of us will get a peak at this boat? An open bow 200 vdrive would be my ideal boat

[qstufflebeam]

There is no way a V-drive will ever ski like a DD. Physics are just not there. That's not to say it might have a very good slalom wake. It won't drive like a DD and have the same wake as a DD. I am sure when this boat is out for the public consumption that it will be just like all the other v-drives that were touted as the DD killer. I hate to be negative, but I will believe it when I see it. I would love to be proven wrong because the V-drive lay out is superior to any DD.

[SkiTower]

I agree that it probably won't compete with a Direct 200, but I believe CC could make one that'll compete with about anything else.

I have been told that the wake is better than the TCS3 nautique from the 06-09 196 with no spray.

Whew, I'm not sure how one could accomplish that with the engine mounted in the rear? I'm sure it'll be the best V drive slalom boat on the market, but better than a 3 hull 196? We'll all have to ski one to believe it. I personally love a DD, as climbing over a seat with my ski is enough for me, let alone a giant engine cover. The wakeboard guys will call me old and weak for that one;-)
