Best answer:

Answer by Zach
Mastercrafts have PERFECT wakes… it is pretty much the wakeboarders dream boat… but then again… all you have to do is add a bunch of ballast to anyother wakeboarding boat and it is just as good. What i have learned is that all tournament boats (Wakeboarding Boats) are about the same… you just have to find what fits you…. if you like the looks of a natique that is a good enough reason to buy one…. with master craft you are paying a lot for the name… Tige’s are pretty nice too i would look into those… but my favorite interior of wakeboarding boats… would have to be the Supra… The Launch 24 SSV has great wakes and the best interior by far…

I would consider / recommend looking at all of theese

1. Mastercraft X-Star
2.Calabria Pro V II
3. Tige 24 VE
4. Supra Launch 24 SSV
5. Centruion Enzo SV 230
6. Epic Wakeboats (If you can get passed the outward apperiance of the boat, if you look passed that, it is a GREAT boat… AMAZING ride and sound system… built in speakers in the transom, so cool)
7. Malibu Wakesetter 247 LSV (Great Boat)

All great Boats

hope this helped

Question by Chad: I need some advice on wakeboard boats? plz HELP?
I am really liking the mastercraft x80 and was wondering where i could find a 2007-2009 model, instead of ebay. Also i wanted to know if anyone has any other suggestions on another boat that is similar to the X80. I need power and defiantly SEATING!!!! So please don’t suggest a boat that can only seat 8.

Best answer:

Answer by lauren m
Well I do like masterscraft but Supra is a REALLY GOOD wakeboard and ski boat also. They have alot of seating and is a really good brand. I owned a 1987 Supra and really had no problems now I own a 2006 gravity Games 24ft. Supra and I absolutly love it! my 24ft seats 16 very comfortable and the 2009 model are awsome!

You could also go with Mastercraft or Ski Natique. I know those are good brands also and so are the mastercrafts.
I hope this helped! Good Luck

Types of Inflatable Boats: Life Rafts

Inflatable life rafts were developed during WW II for the usage of airplane crews in case of emergency. The incredible number of lives lost in ships and submarines that have sunk and in fighter planes downed before WW II were enough stimuli for the US Navy to improve on the old type of rubber boats.

Today, every aircraft, boat, ship and submarine are required to have inflatable life rafts. They have become standard safety equipment for vehicles that traverse in bodies of water. From blue-water cruising ships and boats to offshore cargo ships and fishing boats, each is mandated to carry life rafts. Sailboats meant for racing are also required to carry life rafts. In a nutshell, all water vehicles that carry passengers are required to carry inflatable life rafts in accordance with the Coast Guard’s regulations for survival craft on commercial water mode of transportations.

There are two commercial types of life rafts. One is the inshore life raft and the other one is the offshore life raft. Inshore life rafts are generally constructed of light single-layer fabric flooring. The rational is that inshore life rafts are designed for coastal water or any inland body of water where the likelihood of being found or rescued is within a few hours. Offshore models are heavy with two or more tubes and double-layer floor that provides insulation. These models are designed for extended “drifting” into the open sea and are equipped with emergency kits and supplies for survival.

There are three traditional sizes of life rafts for civilian use. They are the single-person life raft for small planes; 4-person life rafts and 6 -8 life rafts for offshore boats with crews. A one-person raft is highly desirable for a small plane. A bigger capacity life raft would be hard to deploy on a small aircraft. Even a larger aircraft would be best equipped with two or more single person inflatable life rafts than one big life raft for ease in deployment.

Life rafts are totally different from those inflatable recreational inflatable rafts. They are not as hardy as a sport boat or soft tail. They are not designed to withstand ultraviolet depreciation and limiting scrapes and scratches are not as important. They are designed to be conveniently stored and easily deployed. Life rafts are generally made of light polyester fabric with a coating of vinyl, urethane or PVC. It can also be made of nylon with neoprene.

What are the features of a life raft? All life rafts are inflated with the use of compressed gas, normally CO2. The inflation system could either be manually activated by tugging a lanyard or it can be automatically inflated by hydrostatic pressure. Life rafts have a canopy that is manually or automatically installed. A form of anchor is integrated into life rafts to restrict their movement from the drop site. Most life rafts have water-ballast system to prevent them from easily tipping over in cases of strong winds and choppy waters.

Containers for life rafts differ. One-person life rafts are small and compact that a pilot can sit on the package. Larger life rafts are stored in valises or in plastic or fiberglass canisters. A valise is normally stored below deck. If the boat’s life raft is stored in a valise below deck, make sure it is stored properly for easy access in case of emergency. A better (and more expensive) option is a life raft stored in a canister where the canister is mounted on deck for automatic deployment just in case.

Make sure you have your life raft tested at a licensed facility for test- inflation, necessary repairs and replacement of rations, flares and other kits. A once a year inspection is great but a once every-three year inspection and testing is also acceptable.

Radio Control Boats

Ships and boats, yachts and submarines have long been the subject of fantasies nursed by the young and the old. The waters of the seas and oceans hold many secrets which to the mind of the hobbyist were shared by the sea vessels that sailed on them. One yearns to be part of the mystery and adventure that surrounds sailing. A very select few can afford to own sea faring yachts and boats. The rest of us live our dreams by owning ship or boat models that are fashioned after the real ships and boats.

Made to scale boats can be made to sail with the help of radio control equipment with which they are fitted. Such radio controlled boats can be operated remotely with the help of a multi channel radio transmitter. The radio transmitter is in the hands of the operator while there is a corresponding receiver on the boat. Signals are sent to the radio receiver on the boat by changing the position of the two joy sticks on the transmitter. The receiver on the boat is connected to two battery operated electric motors. Signals received from the radio transmitter which is handled by the operator are translated into instructions to run the motors as per directions.

With a host of websites and companies now offering ship and boat models, they are able to offer exciting deals backed by comparative rate studies.

Models can be handcrafted and made of wood or acrylic or a little of both. But fact remains that astute care is taken to deliver a finished and aesthetically produced boat model since it can be expected that one who would want to own a boat model for the love of owning a near original piece would settle for nothing less than a near perfect look alike. Radio controlled boats however have to be treated with more care since one cannot have water entering the motors on the boat.

Although boats were considered a necessity for transportation until several years ago, today they are more a form of recreation and an indulgence towards a hobby. Granted that actually sailing on a boat is an experience an adventurous person would love above anything else, the technically oriented opt for the radio controlled variety of boat models to add to their collection of antique water-worthy artifacts.

Radio Controlled boats offer all the thrill of racing across the water, easy navigation and remote controls.
