Title says it all. Awful expensive but fun to drool over if close by. This will be the 24 footer on display but they also now have a 26 footer as well. I am still on their email list as I was once interested until I got pricing. Perhaps someday.
 
There are better boats for the money. That thing doesn’t even make as good a wave as a boat 1/2 it’s price. It’s a status symbol boat. Tons of fancy doo-dad touches on them and nice craftsmanship but for a wake boat performance not really that impressive IMO. The tower is god awful.

Yep. Those are so beautiful almost like expensive art!
And you could surf in icy waters, too, I'd seen a video of them using those as icebreakers, lol.

I’ve seen videos of them pushing a log out of the way. Aluminum is cool and all but it’s not going to keep a submerged log or iceberg from hitting the prop, fins or anything else other than the aluminum hull. These are for folks that live in Dubai with endless deep pockets to burn. If you wanted a top tier performing wake boat you’d look into the G series Nautique or Ri series of Centurions. I think Pavati only makes a handful of these each year with as much attention to detail as they strive for. Super expensive. To me they look like an Axis from the sides and that’s hard to get past for as much as this boat costs! Technology though this boat has everything you could think of for a wake boat, hell more than some house boats!!

Wow never heard of them. Cool looking boat.
 
That boat has always been on my lottery winning boat list
 
250k for a wake boat?????!?!????
 
I guess they are cool in a flashy kind of way, but honestly I'd rather have a G23, an Ri237 or Ri257, one of the current generation of Supras. Heck, for that matter I'd rather have my MB F22 AND a nice recent model year overnighter with a galley, head and bed!

I read this as @Mainah will be in Bentonville this weekend and started thinking about how to free up my schedule.

Why that location? I wonder if one of the Waltons is buying?

There are lots of folks with too much money to spend on something like this. I am not one of them. I could still appreciate the custom intergrated speaker pods in the tower that send sound in almost every direction. The bow and stern thrusters with hold feature. The over the top interior and exterior design/craftmanship. Since boats are not the only thing folks are drooling over in this thread if you do go you may want to go without the signifcant other in case a simlilar sales assistant is there to avoid being slapped.

I always like checking stuff out becuase it gives me ideas. Hopefully they bring one of these to a show closer to me so I can do just that.
 
Weekend before the fourth of the July saw 5 of these lined up on along the channel in Havasu Az. They were covered in pre-teen and early teen kids just being kids having a blast. Absolutely beautiful boats, in my opinion, but not sure how I would tell my wife I spent $100k more on a boat than we originally paid for our house.
 
Cost is all about perspective. There are folks that can't imagine someone spending anything for a boat, or $40K, or $75K, or $200K, etc. etc.
