Challenger's Gekko boats are a line of world class tow boats, built to deliver the smoothest ride and produce symmetrical wakes that are essential for water sports. Using its patented deep forward keel design, Gekko boats slice through the roughest water to eliminate spray and promote acceleration. The 2006 World Barefoot Championships chose Gekko as its pull boat, while its Gekko Rev 6.7 has become the standard for wakesurfing testing. Challenger's Gekko line includes the Revo 7.1 (23.25 feet), Revo 6.7 (22.17 feet), Revo 6.7i (22.17 feet), GTX22, GTR22 and GTO 22 (all 21.58 feet), and the GTS (20.17 feet), which all come with a 310 horse power PCM.
