Anybody ever ride behind twin jets? I'm lookin at a Yamaha SX210 jet boat with dual engines, and i'm wondering if the twin jets mess-up the wake at all.
Anybody know?
Thanks.

rockhouse, I don't like how soft the wakes are for w2w. I like the re entry though.

I did most of my riding in high school behind a sea doo boat. It's of course not great, but managable for small w2w. But like EJazzle said, reentry is good (I also like the inside-out on the Sea-Doo)

Was it a twin engine Doo?
I know the w2w isn't gonna be that great, but i was mainly just wondering if the twin propulsion was a negative factor...like if two jets made the center of the wake too foamy, and if it made the wake too wide or something.
