Take a step into the boat that has been hailed as one
of the best values to come out of the watersports industry in a long, long
time. Some have said the boat is an excellent "price-point bargain," but when you see it, you seriously wonder if they are talking about this
boat - because to your view, there isn't anything there you would associate
with being "price-point." The Falcon-V is big, really big; in fact it
is the largest 21' tournament boat you've ever seen. Could the stats
be right? Is this boat really only 20' 9"? As you climb inside,
you really begin to wonder if the size stated in the brochure is a misprint.
The back hatches reveal storage compartments that are
larger than those featured on many 23 foot boats that you have seen, and
could easily handle all of your gear plus some. You notice the
exceptional foam-backed, triple-stitched seams on the back hatch upholstery and the retractable pop-up pylon in the center for waterskiing.
From all you have heard, the Falcon-V is not only a great value, but it is
one of the most versatile boats on the market. Accomplishing complete
all-around performance was the main objective when the Falcon-V was built,
and from all of the reviews you have heard, the Falcon lived up to the hype.
Once you enter the cockpit, you quickly notice the 40 oz. snap-out
carpeting, something you didn't expect to be included in this boat. Under each seat
you find plenty of extra storage space for wakeboards, skis, all your
gear, and even a built-in cooler to keep your drinks cold. Once you
look around a little more, you decide to take it out for a test drive, a
decision that you will soon view as well made.
The Falcon-V may sport the deepest and most
spacious interior in its class, it may have more amenities than many
high end models, and it may have a killer deal attached to it - so then
you must be sacrificing something on the performance end, right?
Those have been your thoughts on your way to the lake, but now that you
are out on the water, you start to think
differently. When you climb into the driver's seat and grip the billet
throttle knob, your heart begins to race. Hammering it down, you
slide quickly back in your seat as the 5.7L Black Scorpion engine blasts
wide open. The superb handling is exhilarating, and everyone else
in the boat has to hold on tight. Ok, so it has power and handling
- but what about the wake?
Back and forth; skiing, wakeboarding and surfing - the Falcon-V holds up
to everything you throw at it. From the forgiving ski wakes, the
large and well-shaped wakeboard wakes, and the impressive surf waves to
the comfort and practicality of the interior, the Falcon-V has more than
what you expect out of a tournament boat in this class; in fact,
it has more than what you would expect out of a tournament boat in any
class. There's no question, this boat is exactly what you
are looking for.
