What is everyone's opinion on the Wake? Just got an 06 in good shape, a bit neglected with about 5 gallons of water in the hull since Harvey.
I have been wanting a big turd ski for fishing and relaxation with the fam. This Wake will fill my needs like no other. Going to sell my 96 XP now. I have a B1 which is my true love. I had a GP760 I traded for a Honda Big Red to move my skis with and missed "Falkor" like no other, as it was my fisher.
What should I look for on the Wake?
Any common issues
This ski is more complex than a spaceship
There is some moderate corrosion on the back of the engine thing in the rear compartment. I worry about the bottom of engine too
Alot of the bolts are very rusted too, the guy said the gauges didn't work either
Over all very excited about bringing this one back to life
As far as the corrosion. I do powder coat so blasting and baking them is no problem.
I make the nee guys look like seasoned veterans in this case.
