The fact is that at 17-34 MPH longline and 15 off, the LXI and MC have a much bigger wake. Ask any kid on the dock or ask any 26-32 15 offers. They will all tell you that it is bigger. Some stronger skiers will be able to ski the wakes with not much of a change in average. I spoke to a guy who has 2 pretty good G2/G3 skiers last year at the Ranch. He was looking for a new boat and was blown away about how great the 200 wake was. I told him he needed to get one. He said, "no way, I need my girls practicing behind the big wakes so that when they get the 200 they PB and dont have to worry when they draw the big wakes at tourneys". (nice reason not to buy the best) My wife tells me last week that she wants to buy a MC just so she can get better behind the big boats. CC will go out of business due to having the smallest wakes.
Again,
My last 3 PBs have all been behind the MC.
