Baller oldjeep Posted March 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 27, 2020 There are an awful lot of VTX around where I live. Although I will say that in the last 2 years I am seeing a lot more 22/23 ft malibu surf boats. New DD - pretty much never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg Banish Posted March 27, 2020 Members Share Posted March 27, 2020 I used to own a DD214 and my neighbor has an X14V (same hull, v-drive config) and can tell you that even with the same hull, moving the engine back pretty much ruins the slalom wake at 30 and 32 mph. If you are a beginning or intermediate skier running slower boat speeds and longer than -28, I think you're going to have a hard time honestly saying ANY V-drive feels as nice as the average DD. Just because the ads showed a pro skier at 36mph and shortline behind it doesn't mean it will work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted March 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 27, 2020 For whatever it is worth. Skiing at 32MPH behind my VTX with the bow tank full and my inlaws LXI - I don't notice any difference. And both of them are worlds better than a 2012 prostar wtt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
