The wife and I are looking to upgrade our boat in the next year or two, so I've been researching on the different varieties available. We currently own a 1969 Silverline DeVille with the original Merc 1000ob. Haven't settled on anything in particular, but I really like the layout of the Element series, especially the XL and Merc 115FI. Since it has the modified hull, I'm wondering what kind of wake it would throw out and if any owners could comment with pics/vids on watersports activities.
My family is really beginning to take to knee/wakeboarding, but occasionally will tow a tube or skies. I've owned tri-hulls and V-hulls that give us a decent wake, but I haven't seen much on Youtube about the Element, other than promotional or review videos that talk about ease of use. The open floor plan is really what attracted me to the Element XL, but until I have a chance to take a closer look, my $$$ is staying in my wallet. Advice?
