Sea-Doo 230 Wake Parts
You may miss the rumble but who needs a gas-guzzling V8 when you have twin supercharged motors driving a waterjet on Sea-Doo's impressive 230 Wake
It wasn't too long ago that skiers were modifying their vessels for wakeboarding. Now it's hard to find a skiboat that is not at least optioned with huge stereos and speaker towers that only hide what are sophisticated tow points and wakeboard racks while the interiors are nothing short of a floating lounge room.
Hiding under all that bling is plenty of power, traditionally dominated by large American V8s with more than 400 ponies pushing them along, but it was a pleasant change to be behind the wheel of a Sea-Doo wakeboat, producing the same horsepower, but with twin, three-cylinder, supercharged Rotex jet engines.
The big 7.1m Sea-Doo 230 Wake is a pure wake or skiboat that is extremely well designed and a genuine competitor in a market dominated by prop-powered hulls.
The ballast system on the 230 Wake made an incredible difference to the shape and size of the wake. Sea-Doo were happy to fill and change the amount of water in the ballast tanks to demonstrate how well the tanks actually work, and with a pro wakeboarder on hand to show us how it is done, the 230 Wake proved it was more than just a fast, floating lounge room.
The dry weight of the hull is 1519kg and loading the tanks adds another 450kg, so once loaded and fuelled, the wake was shaped by well over 2000kg. The weight of water in the ballast tanks increases the size of the wake, while adjusting the trim changed the shape of the wave, moving from thick open wakes to high peaking wakes to achieve maximum air.
The finish of the 230 Wake was as impressive as its performance with great looking red and white interior, polished finish on the tower and tattoo style graphics. The Wake comes complete with navigation lights, custom trailer with swing-away drawbar, two 12V jacks and clip-in carpet. The only option worth considering is the retractable windscreen which opens up the helm and makes plenty of sense during a hot summer afternoon.
