Yes, I'm glad someone has a picture of this boat. I've been trying to explain it to my kids. We never got a photo of this one while we were building it.

The guys brother drew this one up. It looks EXACTLY like the drawing. The green has silver metallic in it, he brought in a 7up can to match the color to. We tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted, said it was going to be the best looking boat ever built. I still remember the day it came out of the mold. He showed up and loved it. As my wife came around the corner to see it he said "you see, I told you it would be the best looking boat ever, don't you agree?" She said " as long as you like it, that's all that matters." He honestly could not believe she didn't like it.

If I remember correctly, we didn't put our name anywhere on the boat.

The 22 stealth is one of my favorites. I liked the burgundy/orange phase of the builds you did, JW.. They looked real good!

Saw both your Kirby trucks down of Vandegrift the other day, eating lunch. How many of those have you got now?:thumbsup

mastercraft 300 also costs over $1000 per foot.

That doesn't make it an ugly boat. Its not for everybody, thats for sure.

If I had Yacht money, I'd own a 300. Its gorgeous.

The new X-Star, not the greatest looking roll bar boat, but certainly not the worst.

And to be fair......

That wrap has every name of sponsored riders and people who have had a hand in the creation of the x star.

It's still the ugliest boat i've ever seen. Gimmicks and bullshit for people who like to say they wakeboard more than actually wakeboard.

There is no defending this late-term abortion of a boat. Disasteraft for sure on this one.

It is not the ugliest boat you have ever seen. And agreed on the rest of your statement.

We are pretty fair machinists and I just marvel at the beauty of the roll bar design. :thumbsup

Speaking of rollbar boats, I saw one made with 1 1/2 pipe and they had used threaded pipe fittings for bends. It was the epitome of redneck. Sorry I don't have a picture but you can imagine what this boat looked like.

I think wake boats have gone downhill in looks since about 2006. I think the older Wakesetters (before the gay looking towers), Tiges, Air Natiques and Sky Supremes were the best looking ones.

I can agree with this. My dream wakeboard boat is either an '03 SANTE with the 502 or an '06 247WSLSV with the 496. Power for days and huge wakes. They're pretty different, but they're both the best choices.

In defending MC, I've seen some ugly others out there :D

I like the Howard, maybe a little more yellow than I care for, but overall, I like it.
