Nautique outboard!!!

The club had a lot on the River Canard in La Salle about a 1/4 mile upstream from the Detroit River. The river ran through some wetlands and was about 3' deep where the course was set up. That boat was perfect for the for the low water, we never hit anything with it and the wake was near non existent. Whatever wake was created was quickly soaked up by the wetlands on either side. You could run back to back sets and have zero chop from the previous set. Best slalom water and pull from a boat I've ever had. Only thing close was skiing behind a 16' Checkmate with a 150HP Mercury Black Max for lack of wake behind the boat however you could pull that boat around easily when cutting.

The bracket looks to have floatation. I am surprised it porpoises a little, I would have guessed that the boat would remain balanced.

We need a video.

What wake?

I would like to see the wake from that Maple leaf - bet it can be trimmed nice for skiing

What wake?

As someone who owned a S&S Mastercraft....I can attend that boat had about zero wake. I don't think it weighed much at all and it was basically a flat bottom. Total kidney crusher in choppy water.
