With all the publicity lately with our Tunnel Line, i just wanted to drop a line to you guys that we started, and still build a 22foot custom Vdrive wakeboat.
A mix of westcoast custom boats with a tournament Vdrive platform.
Wake, Gel Coat, Storage, Sounds and fun.....
Totally Custom, anything you want.

Looks like a nice boat... currently I have a Tige 22i, it's a great boat with a lot of room but the cruising speed sucks on these wakeboard boats!! What is the top speed of this boat, is it similar to other tournament boats? How much for one of these bad boys?

That is a really nice looking boat. I have some questions though.
1. Do you offer a windshield as an option? Here in NorCal it gets a little cold coming of the lake a night. No windshield= really cold.
2. Are the guages actually able to be read at that angle?
3. Do you have a 2 speed option on the transmission? I can't figure out why boat manufacturers will not install 2 speeds in wake board specific boats. I would really like to hit about 65mph and smoke everyone else's wakeboard boats.
4. When will your site be up for a more in depth look?
Thanks,
Scott

Windshield- Yes, we offer custom Wayne Earl Products windscreens.
Guages- Yes you can read them, you sit up in the boat so the guages are visible. We can and have installed angled bezels.
2 speed tranny- I think you misunderstood why MB Sports introduced the two speed tranny. It is not for the purpose of burning down the lake, more so for bringing the rider up quicker when the boat is loaded down. The only big speed two-three speed tranny set ups are found in drag boats and ski boats like Schiadas.
The two speed tranny has a low first gear to bring the torque up when you are bringing a rider up with over 3k lbs of ballast in the boat. You shift once the boat is on plane.
After using a 2 speed, its a cool option but i didnt see any advantages when it came to gas consumption.
If you want to go 70mph, still have a fun wake and tons of ammeneties, let me know. The boat will have to be an IO, not a vdrive but the wake is fun and it will turn 70mph on a small block.
