Gekko Boats are a boat manufacturer of ski boats and wakeboard boats. They are located at Prior Lake, MN. Gekko Sports was formed in 1994 by Mark Overbye, who at that time was already a veteran of boat building, having conceived and founded Moomba Sports back in 1989.
The new boats are made by Gekko in their own factory, so the quality is great - especially the interiors. The company says that Gekko is synonymous with "Best Tracking", "Fastest", "Quickest" and "World Class Wakes". The best wakeboarding boats in the line are the
Revo 6.7 and 7.1. The just re-introduced GTS-20 is a slalom boat that with about 1,200 lbs of ballast makes some great wakes on the cheap. Gekko has maintained the features testers dig the most - small wakes for ski boats, excellent tracking, minimal spray - and added a few new traits. Gekko was the exclusive tow boat for the 2005 European barefoot championships.

Gekko's boat-designing philosophy is based on what it calls its "Zero Sacrifice Philosophy," which requires that the performance of Gekko products exceed the expectations of the most demanding hardcore enthusiast, that construction processes, materials and technology be state-of-the-art Gekko represents a huge value, regardless of price. Gekko tries to create hull shapes by building running plugs that are fresh and innovative; the results are unique enough for Gekko to become the first and only tow boat builder to get a copyright from the United States Copyright Office on its hull design.
