Abstract
A water craft including an engine of sufficient thrust to create an enlarged wake at the stern of the boat as the boat moves along the surface of a body of water, and at least one water tight compartment positioned below the waterline having a sealable opening at the stern of the boat below the water line. The compartment extends from the stern to a point forward of the engine. The compartment is adapted to contain liquid water in an amount sufficient to enhance or equalize the size of the boat wake. The opening is adapted to be opened to drain out the water.
