Looks to be an aftermarket system similar to the Malibu wedge. They did a nice job of hacking up the 1985 MC as their demo boat!

Reading Switchbladewake's web page, it sounds like Enzyte for your boat/wake ("Wake Enhancement System")...kinda creepy.

We spend 35 years or more and especially those old boats to make a smaller wake, why not just buy a x-star?? The old s&s are ski boats!

Boat looks to be in great shape. Wouldn't be bad to take the ridiculous plow and platform off the back end, remove the tower, fix the gel, peel the graphics, and have some vinyl done to return it to it's original style. I'd bet that for a couple grand you could have like new classic.

I thought the same thing! And, this is the first boat that I have seen that has the factory docking lights like my '82.

im pretty sure centurion has been offering that switchblade for awhile now. most good boarders will agree that weight is much better than a drag device. for surfing it may help, i dont know.... too young for wakesurfing still..:D

IIRC, that boat was up for sale last year on ebay too. Hmmm.
