Are the Wake and the Challenger truly different bottoms?

The Wake has a deadrise of 16 degrees and the Challenger has a deadrise of 20 degrees. This is the same boat except for the seating configuration. Why in the heck would they mold two different bottoms. That wouldn't make sense.

Also, they are both listed as having different heights with no tower?? Something is fishy here. Anyone know the truth?

I am going to need to fit this in a garage and I need to know. Thanks.

Hello? Mic check......

These boats are fairly new so it might take a little longer to get a response from an owner of one of these boats. Have you checked any of the spec sheets?

I would suspect that some tests should be coming out from BoatTest.com soon.

Yes, I believe they have quite a few mistakes and inconsistencies on them. I have looked at both boats in person now and I believe the bottom is the same on both boats. The top is clearly different as noticed in the seating configuration.

Either way, I sat in the Wake version today and it is VERY nice!

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah it the specs it says both are 16 degrees.

Turns out they are both the same bottom with a 20 degree deadrise.

The innerliner is different though due to the seating configuration difference.
