Overview

The Revo 6.7 is all sport. From the sweeping tower to the graphics packages to the huge rear sun deck, everything about this boat has a custom feel that both skiers and wakeboarders will enjoy. With a deep forward-keel design that provides improved rough-water handling, it's got performance capabilities to go along with its style. The Revo 6.7 embodies all the water-sports enthusiasm that runs so rampant throughout the Gekko line.

Wakes

The wakes behind the Revo 6.7 really cater to the multisport family. Our testers found them suitable for open-water skiing from 15 through 28 off. At 22 mph and with the factory ballast maxed out, the wakes had nice shape and moderate size that would please beginning to intermediate riders.

Handling

Designed with an extremely high freeboard and a

Beam: of 102 inches, the Revo 6.7 is so deep and spacious, it's like driving in a bubble on water. The boat maintained an accurate line for our ski and wakeboard sets and it also provided a cushy ride when water conditions deteriorated.

Comfort

The Revo 6.7 incorporates a unique style with subtle creature comforts. The molded-in swim platform, giant rear sun deck and sweeping tower are just a few of the features that combine function and style. The upgraded upholstery for 2006 was a nice addition.
