okay so it's Raymond Cohoon here today from a
Scotland and we're looking at the super air
antique g23 which is a netique's premier
offering in the wakeboard market the boat is suited for wake boarding and
wake surfing and it has been voted the world's best
wakeboarder wakes boat for the last five years so um
let's see how we look around the boat basically the hull shape took three
years to develop so it's a very sophisticated hull shape
starts off with a deep v run stuff flat back
and all the shapes and angles here the soft system make the wave at the
back the best injuries ever seen along with
the amount of ballast that we can put in the boat so the the boat itself has
three main ballast tanks a one in the front
and two in the rear and we can put 2850 pounds of
a water ballast in the boat to make the wave bigger
okay so so how does that how how does that help to improve the
weight so the combat imagine that so the combination of uh the weight in
the boat so the heavier we can make the boat
and the mechanical surf system here
creates the wave and we can tweak that a little bit on the dashboard we have some
uh little functions where we can make the
wake a sort of fatter or bigger or longer and shorter so it's quite
maneuverable okay so at the back of the boat here
there's quite a lot going on this is a surf pipe and the surf pipe uh
takes all the petrol fume away from the rider when they're suffering the
exhaust fume is directed into the water we have a rear thruster here which works
with the a steering automatically or you can run it manually
as well and we also have the ncrs plate which works with the
throttle to hook the boat onto the plane and to adjust the surf wave
and then either side a port and starboard we actually have the surf
plates if the surf plate is out on the port
side you would be surfing here on the
starboard side and vice versa
uh the whole a boat is controlled by this
uh computer screen here and it's really easy to
use you can either use it by touch screen
or you can use the mouse and navigate through the screen with the mouse
and round about the mouse you have the top five functions that you would use on
a daily basis so you've got the cruise control button
the rider settings the all-important music button
and then the home screen okay and then within that if you use the mouse
you can then go into separate menus and dive a bit deeper into the controls
with the boat so basically as with all wakeboard boats
and the main the main settings are that the
the speed is consistent so the cruise control and the ballast
they you know make the boat function we have for
a bit of safety the awareness camera which is mounted in the tower so you can
see what's wrong about it at the back see if you're looking over your shoulder
and then we have some nice features a phone holder adjustable steering wheel
and flip up booster seat here if you need it
a nice walk through
the pocket door
the screen of course comes over as well
and then you've got lots of storage in the boat seat moves up here
seat is moved here as well
and also you can move this seat
back the way to make some stadium seating
so here you can just have all your friends and family sitting watching the
action behind the boat so maybe move this back down you have a
table you've got a ton of storage left and
right
in the back bins
and of course the uh imported engine
6.2 liter 450 horsepower and it's a coastal edition so it'll take
the salt water
so basically this boat is a 23 foot long it comes in a 23 foot version which is
this one it comes with 21 and a 25 foot version and it's got
a range of about eight hours so it's a good day boat
um you can pump 200 and sorry 2850 pounds worth of ballast
into the boat in the under floor tanks which gives the boat the extra weight it
needs to do weight boarding and wake surfing
