XS22

“the best crossover boat on the market”. This boat is attracting buyers of all ages

The standard wash is good for slaloming. It’s nice and flat in the centre without too much turbulence, while the wake itself has a clearly defined edge, with just a very slight rolling on the port side due to the prop wash-out. For wakeboarding and wakesurfing, the washis controlled by the Lectratab electric hydraulic stainless steel cavitation plate and trim tab.Operated via a lever on the steering column,the driver has instant control in providing the desired wake for the boarders.

The XS22 has outstanding level of comfort, superb ride and allround on-water performance. It’s just so soft riding and stable. It’s also quiet and easy to drive, handling its 315hp output with ease, and there’s plenty of space and a top quality interior finish.Sliding into the driver’s seat in boats of this ilk can sometimes be a squeeze, particularly if you’re tall or solidly built. Not so here, as the helm console is set high, leaving plenty of clearance to step in behind the wheel. The seat is of a wraparound bucket design, but it’s not overdone. The sprung seat mounts give a soft feel, and the sliding base affords a good range of adjustment. For low-speed wake surfing (around 2000rpm, or 24km/h), the front section of the seat flips up to provide a raised bolster, elevating the driver to offer a better view over the bow or of the wash wake closer in to the rear of the boat. This is such a smooth and pleasant boat to drive. Although the torquey 5.7lt V8 MerCruiser Tow Sport engine has been built with towing skiers firmly in mind, none of its torque is transmitted to the wheel. I’d never recommend it, but you can take your hand off the wheel at any time and it won’t wander. This is partially due to the good set-up of the Morse rack steering,
