Ski Boat Review The boat that redefined the Nautique name is back for 2013. With a dry weight of 5,400 pounds and almost 3,000 extra pounds of factory ballast, the G23 has a big, clean, rampy wake with excellent transition...

Call them crossovers or multisports, these seven ski boats from our 2009 Boat Buyers Guide excel as do-it-all watersports performers. Since they're designed to tow a variety of watersports, the ski boats on this list are perfect for families who not only love to water ski and wakeboard but wakesurf and tube as well...

BOAT REVIEW You have to hand it to Wakecraft for recognizing a boat buyers' need and dealing with it head-on. We've seen it ourselves — people shopping for a ski or wakeboard boat and having to pick up numerous options to outfit it for everything they want to do...

BOAT REVIEW We found the Moomba Mobius XLV to be a great all-around wakeboard boat. This year a revamped hull has enhanced the boat further by handling ballast weight even better. The value is always impressive considering Moomba shares its construction, engineering and materials with sister brand Supra luxury boats...

BOAT REVIEW With its role as Moomba's most economical V-drive wakeboard and ski boat, the Outback V is big on value. We found the boat to be packed with winning standard features to rival its more expensive Supra cousins, from the hand-laid fiberglass construction and foam-filled hull to the swim platform's new grip platform...

BOAT REVIEW Centurion's entry-level wakeboard boat model, the Air Warrior Falcon V is all-new for 2008. We liked the new hull design lurking below the water line that's been flattened out a bit for better multisport capability...

BOAT REVIEW Our advanced-level riders immediately witnessed the wake potential in the family-friendly price point Moomba Mobius LSV that comes stock with 400 pounds of factory ballast and a Smart Plate hydraulic wake shaper...

BOAT REVIEW With a name like the Ferrari-inspired "Enzo," a boat has to look stylish. And the direct-drive Centurion Enzo SD220 ski boat lives up to the moniker with racy design features such as a sleek, sloped transom, flared bow contours, chromed-out stern vents and a swept-back Double Up tower...

BOAT REVIEW After a few sets behind the Moomba Mobius LS, we became convinced that we were enjoying one of those direct-drives that offers noteworthy performance for skiing and wakeboarding. Even for more serious skiers, this boat is capable of navigating you through the course — if that's your goal...

BOAT REVIEW Centurion's wake-minded Avalanche C4 came to our test session decked out in a sharp green metallic flake graphic that sparkled like emerald gold in the Northern California sun. But once we overcame our initial superficial attraction, we found a capable water-sports boat that can please riders of all levels, depending on the setup...

BOAT REVIEW The Tige 22i direct-drive boat is always fun to test-drive, not just for the versatile wakes and experimenting with the TAPS2 settings to dial in customized wake shapes. It's also fun to simply hang out in the 22i thanks to its unique seating configuration...

BOAT REVIEW The Tige 20i is what slalom specialist pros such as Jamie Beauchesne and Chris Rossi choose to ski behind. We've seen Jamie run into 41 off behind this ski boat at home in New Hampshire — not the easiest lake to ski...

BOAT REVIEW This slick direct-drive Supra Launch 20 model is our choice to be the crossover sleeper of the Supra line, with wakes that can be tuned to please both course-minded slalom skiers and intermediate-level wakeboarders...

OVERVIEW With a length of just over 19 and a half feet and an engine of up to 340 horsepower, it's not hard to figure out why many compare Svfara's SV609 to a two-door roadster. The stunningly sleek Svfara styling is always the first thing we notice about their boats, and the 609 looked like it was going to give us a heck of a ride...

BOAT REVIEW Maybe the world needs more Canadian boat manufacturers; because when we think of Svfara, two words immediately pop into our heads: total package. The SV2 is a great example. This model has already emerged as an impressive wakeboard boat that not only throws out a solid, consistent wake, but pays equal attention to style and comfort...
