oldjeep Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Saw 2 of them at the boat show. They had a really good looking dash, the boat was tiny inside compared to my 2012 VTX. The Varatti is a 22ft and mine is a 20ft boat, but the Varatti wasted a lot of space in the back and the weird thing that they did with the spotter seat.

Baller BraceMaker Posted April 9, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2019 ZO or do you get mercruiser cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjeep Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Zero off - but likely the version that they put in Malibu wake boats, not the 3 event version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller swc5150 Posted April 9, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2019 I got close up and personal with this boat last summer at a special Floe party. It's not going to replace your DD, but it's a lot more than just a wake boat. A couple of guys did some footing sessions behind it even. It's very nimble for a 22' as well. I did not ski it, but the slalom wake looked better than the Nautique GS boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrated Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 @swc5150 were you at the anniversary party? I've seen them putting gas in it at the local gas station but I haven't seen it on water. Heard mixed reviews from some with more knowledge. I hope it takes off as it would be good for the local area to have sales and production take off though.

Baller swc5150 Posted April 10, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 10, 2019 I was. They booked my band for the entertainment. Great group of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members APB Posted April 10, 2019 Members Share Posted April 10, 2019 Saw them at the boat show. Malibu was very interested in their surfgate patent infraction. Curious to see what happens there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dacon62 Posted April 10, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 10, 2019 What’s with the side firing exhaust dumps? Pick a side depending on which side your surfing or just reduce noise behind the boat for the surfer/skier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TomH Posted April 10, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 10, 2019 Looks like the exhaust only fires to the right (you can see the pipe on the right of the hump coming out the stern). The silver piece in the middle would be the stern thruster. They probably located the exhaust the way they did to prevent the thruster from cavitating on the exhaust (similar to how Nautique diverts the exhaust at idle on the G23's with thrusters).

oldjeep Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Surf pipes. Common option on surf boats. Not for noise, to reduce co for the surfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
