Pavati - Anyone have experience?

[ST3]

Totally not for me. Call me an old man, too conservative, whatever...as far as the looks go. The engineering and the use of aluminum is interesting.

The company is working very hard on getting good content out there. They seem to be super limited production.

Never seen one in person let alone been on one. Just curious if anyone has a friend with one and how it compares to our Gs?

Reviews on performance are very limited, and mostly that the wake/wave are “meh”. Very poor reliability reviews, and hard to get service with no dealer network.

also, they are 275-380k, depending on the model and options you choose.

cool concept, but price and lack of Hull design experience is keeping them from selling more than a couple boats a year.

Similar to the Nautique GS24, few if any have sold and little to no information about them . LOL

I hear a surprising amount of people bring up Pavati, yet I can't find anyone who actually owns or has been in one on the water. All they have is marketing videos with tons of girls sitting on the platform getting high on the fumes while someone surfs.
I had a chance to get in a Pavati a couple years ago at Surf Expo. It has nice interior and a cool looking dash and some different features than other brands. I think they were the first with a stern thruster.

I'd still rather take a Moomba with a proven hull design for 1/5th of the cost.

Ok, you did get me to laugh on that one. At least I have actually seen a GS 24 (just not on the water in person). Maybe by June we will have folks contributing to these threads and proving us wrong

As for the Pavati they do have Nautique beat on the ratio of bikini to boat footage.

I saw a Pavati on Lake Tulloch, CA last summer - not sure which model. They were surfing behind it at the time and the wave looked good from my standpoint...but I own an 04 210 and have never surfed behind or even rode in one of the newer boats. The Pavati looked great on the water and everyone from young kids to the wives on our boat were in awe of the black/carbon fiber look it had.

Just to note, based on all my research, I would much rather own a G23!

When I think of “high quality boat”, aluminum isnt what comes to mind.

I’ve been on a couple Pavati’s. One of their first models to one of their more recent . Wake performance and quality are right on par with anything from Nautique. As a company they are very detailed oriented. They are not looking to “mass produce “ wakeboats. They are a more custom order niche and their price reflects that. Highest quality materials and top notch customer service means a high end product. As mentioned. Not well known and really not a boat your going to see spanning the market , but that’s not really their business model or concept.

Saw one in person a couple years ago and it looks good from a far, but closeup the welds that run the entire length of the keel just standout to me and I couldn't get past that. They just don't have that soft luxurious feel of a Gel coated boat. Too many hard corners and way too many large thick welds to look at made it feel like a large overpriced aluminum fishing boat. Interior seemed to be on par with most top inboard brands and paint on exterior was very well done.

Know there is a dealer in Tulsa Oklahoma area or such that has sold a couple of them. But the asking price is insane!!

[Bevostein]

Not for me.

Do Pavatis come standard with a lifetime supply of Affliction t-shirts?
