Baller WBLskier Posted July 1, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2019 Looking for comments on this boat. I recall thinking it had a big wake at slower kid slalom speeds. I’d be upgrading from a 98 Malibu echelon with pp and zbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jhughes Posted July 1, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2019 It's an alright boat. The TXI came out in 2012 and IMO was a big upgrade from that last LXI generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted July 1, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2019 What @jhughes said.If you can afford one year more recent,that would be a better upgrade with the TXI. My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller PurdueSkier Posted July 1, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2019 @WBLskier is this a response or response lxi? The comments above are about an LXI. However I have 2010 and love it. My son skis at 20 mph and my wife at 26. Neither complain or have any issues. I ski at 34 from 22 to 35 off and the wake is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller WBLskier Posted July 1, 2019 Author Baller Share Posted July 1, 2019 @PurdueSkier it is an LXI with the 6 liter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller PurdueSkier Posted July 1, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 1, 2019 @WBLskier for what its worth I went from a 94 echelon to my 2010 lxi. At slow speeds the wake of the lxi is bigger than the echelon but soft and more rounded. Wake crossing are easier on the lxi in my opinion. At faster speeds the wake is small and much softer than the echelon. At short line the echelon had a big trough that the lxi doesn't have. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
