           You
say you want a revolution? Well, you know, all boat manufacturers
want to change the boating world. Count Gekko among those companies
who aren’t just talking about a revolution, but doing
something to make it happen.

A case in point is the Revo 6.7. Gekko has put the design of
this new V-drive through the technological wringer to produce a
cutting-edge model. Built on a digitally perfected version of the
copyrighted GTO 22 hull, the Revo 6.7 features a unique optional
ballast system that incorporates 1,800 pounds of weight into the
stringers themselves. The system eliminates the need for pumps and
hoses while freeing up tons of space for storage, especially in the
transom compartments. 

That innovation lends itself to ease of use for families gearing
up for a day of wakeboarding and skiing. With no-hassle ballast,
riders can get behind the boat right away. Empty it out, and skiers
will have fun with the above-average slalom wakes for a V-drive. We
were pretty stoked on the crossable wakes from 15 to 28 off. For
boarders looking for larger wakes, you can load up with fat sacks
for wakes to satisfy the advancing intermediate rider.

           Best
of all for families, Gekko has engineered that wake performance
into a super-wide boat with a 102-inch beam. The well-padded
V-drive interior is broad enough to handle all your kin without
putting the squeeze on. And most of the seats lift up to unveil
even more storage options. With the Revo 6.7, don’t you know
it’s gonna be all right.

 

 The Lowdown:

•New ballast system integrates up to 1,800 pounds of weight
into the stringers in about a minute with no pumps or hoses that
fill or drain.

•Versatile wake performance is great for family boarders
and skiers.

•A swiveling driver’s seat with flip-up bolster,
snap-out carpet, 10 drink holders and lots of storage make it tough
to leave the lake at the end of the day. 

•The 102-inch beam is wide, wide, wide to accommodate your
family and the one next door.

•Special Wired package of options amps up the wakeboarding
style with cool graphics and speaker- and board-equipped tower.
