    Wakesurfing behind a 95 sport Naut

    Hi guys, just looking at possibly picking up a 95 sport Naut.. From what I've read, it appears to be a good hull for Wakeboarding (?) if you sack it out, but I was curious about if you could get a good surf wake out of it? Thanks for any input!

    You can surf it. It's not great, but it can produce a fun little wave. Throw a ~500 lb sac on whichever side you want to surf and ~600 lbs behind the engine box. Gotta be real careful when slowing down and turning with this set up. Very easy to take water over the back corner.

      I surf with an 05 210 and don't have a prob with water over the back end. I think the key to making a good wave is enough weight in the front. You gotta play with it until you figure it out. I set mine up as follows: 350 in the starboard storage, 700 in the main cabin off to the starboard side and 350 in the walk through. Works great.

        Your 210 is not really comparable to the 95 sport. I agree with Baugh, gotta watch that back corner with the slant back boat.

            Loved mine when I had my 93. I did 650 across the back, and a 650 on the port side next to the engine butted up against the other sack. We drove about 9-9.5 mph and made a slight turn to starboard (yes, away from the rider side) and it made for a very clean wave with good push, although the pocket was a little short.
