Wakeboard boat

Wakeboard boats also known as wakeboats, surfboats or tow boats are designed to create a large, specially shaped wake, for a wakeboarder to jump the wakes from side to side doing aerial tricks.

Throttles on v drive boats are extremely sensitive and it is hard to get to the desired speed of the rider.

When cruise control is set the driver can push the throttle all the way down and the boat will not go any faster than the desired speed.

However, the quality and size of the wake is largely a function of the hull design and ballast weight of the boat.

When the "Wedge" is extended it creates downward force that pulls the stern of the boat lower in the water.

Nautique developed the "Hydrogate" which uses Bernoulli's Principle to trim their wakeboarding boats.

Skiers Choice, manufacturer of Supra and Moomba, has created a wake plate that aids the boat in planing by allowing the driver to adjust the device (basically a trim tab).

Hull technology is the innovation and R&D that the manufacturers put into their boats to ensure the best stock wake possible.
