...A COMFORTABLE BOAT
WITH ROOM TO SEAT THE
WHOLE FAMILY,
SURF BOATS MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE
Perhaps the biggest factor driving the
popularity of wake surfing was in the
introduction of forward-facing sterndrives, including Volvo Penta's Forward
Drive and Mercury's more recent Bravo
4S. With the propellers mounted on the
front face of the outdrive and safely protected from coming into contact with
a fallen surfer by the boat's hull, forward-facing drives allow boat builders to
easily configure existing sterndrive runabout models for wake surfing, keeping
costs more affordable for young families.
It's a simple idea that works very well.
The ability to trim a forward-facing sterndrive allows users to leverage the design's
variable downward thrust and push the
stern into the water which, with the creative use of trim tabs, allows riders to finetune the wake to suit their own taste.
" A lot of people like to go wake surfing,
but that's not all they want to do. They
want a comfortable boat with room to seat
the whole family, that they can also surf
with, " says Steve Huber, who handles
marketing for boat builder Smoker Craft
Inc. " Those boats are more affordable
than purpose-built towboats, and they're
far more versatile. "
They're also said to be easier to drive
than a traditional towboat, particularly at
low speeds such as when docking. That's
a big reason why forward-facing sterndrives can be found on dozens of different
boat models today.
The Scarab 255 ID has no exposed propeller - just jet drives under the hull
