    How does the wake on a 209 compare to the 197? Not sure I am in the market yet, but when I am I need a good shortline boat with room for the family. Leaning towards 197 or LXI, but have never skied behind a 209.

    I can only speak for the x9 wakeboard version and the wake was fairly big and wide. Awesome open water boat though with tons of room for a big family. Boar is no longer made and sought after so you should have no problem selling it Aswinter.

    @PurdueSkier, to me the wake was "large" compared to a true, dedicated ski boat. However, I'm a rookie and ski at 28mph and 15 off. If you're a shortline skier and 34 mph+, the wake is pretty darn good considering the size of the boat. Keep in mind the boat is 3-event certified, so it can and has been used by pros in a tournament setting (I'm guessing). My wife and I skied behind 197's for a week at Coble Ski school and weren't impressed enough to make the switch from our 209. The bump was still there at our speeds and line lengths. Also, the 197 is 13 inches shorter and 5 inches skinnier than the 209, making the 209 much more desirable for a family setting and rougher waters. Obviously the 197 is going to have a smaller wake for skiing, but once again I wasn't blown away by the difference.

    @purdueskier dunno if its really boilermaker gold.

    Indiana is Nautique country ain't it?

    Great looking boat and all those pics make me miss Brookville Lake and my open water roots. It doesn't look Boilermaker gold to me so it should sell OK :P

    Indiana does seem to be Nautique country, but not for me. I actually own an older Malibu but grew up with MCs. There arent a lot of gold options for boats, so I would adopt yellow; really as long as it isnt red and white I would be good.
