22 i slalom wake

[brianbaumer]

Hi,
Who owns a 22 i? I'm considering buying an 07 22 i. How are the slalom wakes behind this boat? Just sold my direct drive and would like a little more seating? Ski alot and don't want a huge wake. No real videos showing the slalom wake behind this boat? Thanks for any comments

I answered this in the general discussion forum. Let me know if there is anything more that I can answer...

I have a 2005 22i and I find that even with the taps off it still gives a sizable wake. If you are looking for flat water, this is not the way to go. I used to love the single stick since I changed over to wakeboarding I look for the big wake. Big wake , big fun. Try It

22i Wake

I have an '04 22i. While the slalom wake is not bad, it is considerably higher than that of a competition boat.

i love the flat wake mine gives, i run a 75' rope put the TAPS to 0

I got and 01 21i and I think the wake could definitely be smaller. The thing is I also do a lot of surfing now days so I am like the fact that I can load up the sacks and it throws a nice surf wake. with more seating you are going to be giving up on the wake thats just the way it goes.

The 22i really is more of a wake boat than a slalom machine. I haven't skied the one your looking at but, the boats themselves are BIG. They barely fit down a coarse. If your good, you can hit both of each set of guide buoys all the way down the coarse if they are set for any kind of comp boat. Since they are designed for wakeboarding, the wakes, while not being huge will be firm.

The only way to be sure is to ski behind it to see if it's do-able for you. You never know, you might decide to just be old and spend the rest of your days surfing. Like me.

thanks for all your responses. I bought the bought, 06 22 i, had 31 hours on it, just got back from powell, boat now has 60 hours! Slalom wake is a little hard but really good for a boat this size. thanks again

[brianbaumer]

I own a 07 21i and the wake is too big for awesome slalom skiing. It is okay, but not great.
