Why You Want a Wake Boat

There’s nothing like speeding along the water in your own boat to make the most of a gorgeous day, and watersports are one of the most fun boating activities. But not all boats’ wakes are equal—getting a wake boat will ensure maximum fun, control, and adrenaline!

We here at Fish and Ski Marine want to help you get the perfect boat for watersports, so we’ve put together a few of the reasons you may want a wake boat, below. To learn more, or to see the wake boats we have for sale, contact our stores in Sanger and New Braunfels, Texas, today!

Built For It

First and foremost, wake boats are great for watersports because they’re specifically designed to be! These boats are built from the ground up to improve the experience of watersports enthusiasts in every way. The engine, first of all, faces backwards and is placed at the stern, ensuring it dips lower in the water to create a more defined wake. They also pack quite a punch to keep everyone on their toes.

Wake boats also utilize ballast to lower the stern further, sometimes in the form of water-filled hard tanks or as sandbags. Many models have adjustable ballast, allowing you to alter the depth of the wake manually.

The hull shape is another design element built to improve watersports with a deep-V shape that cuts through the water to ensure a wide wake. The rudder propeller and fins also increase the complexity of the wake.

Cutting-Edge Tech

Of course, the people being towed aren’t the only ones who deserve to have a good time. Wake boats often employ the latest technologies to keep the driver and any passengers entertained as well. Large stereo systems let you add your own soundtrack to the day while touch screen systems allow the driver to control the ballast, wake size, and even boat speed. The screen also makes it easy to see the fuel level and outside temperature to keep you in the know.

Spectacular Handling

Naturally, any boat that’s towing watersports enthusiasts needs to be easy to control and incredibly agile, both to keep the towed person entertained and to keep them safe. Wake boats are great at maintaining consistent speeds to keep the towed person where they need to be with cruise control, and they handle like a dream.
