2017 Wakecraft ZRski

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. With the Wakecraft ZRski, that's not a worry. The epitome of out-of-the-box boating, this boat comes with virtually everything a wakeboarder needs standard. That's the concept from this fairly new California brand, which was founded in 2006. A few optional items, like a bimini top and stereo upgrade, are available but for the most part, what you see is what you get

• Ballast System

• Standards List

• In addition to the basic engine Indmar 335 HP 5.7L V-8 (Gen 1e Small Block), ZERO Off, 6-speaker stereo and even a trailer are included.

Test Analysis

• These wakes world class tournament level NO spray so what ever. We especially loved tackling double-ups with the ZRski and re-entries were nice and smooth. We did find the wakes to give inconsistent pop for tricking. As all now this is also a World Barefoot Tournament Tracking boat i:a FlightCraft well known hull world shape

• Bow rise: 17 degrees during typical acceleration. Low profile dash and low-slung bow helped visibility. Tracking: Held a fairly consistent boat path with a rider in tow. Turns: Double-up driving could be improved. Leave room for bigger, arcing turns

• With OPT 409 HP engine and OJ 1313 four-blade is top speed 55 mph / 85 km/h

• Vibration
  • NON recorded with driver and passenger turning through a double-up at the sport-specific speed.
