Bryant Ski Boat w/Tower at 2192 River Rd in Henrico, North Carolina puts a classic, powerful day-boat beneath your feet and the wide water of Lake Gaston ahead. This 24-foot Bryant, equipped with a V8 engine and a wakeboard tower, is set up specifically for wakeboarding, kneeboarding and tubing; it seats up to eight and is offered with a four-day minimum rental schedule that lets groups turn a weekend into a proper water getaway. The boat’s size and tower make it agile enough to carve wakes yet stable for family runs; the rental listing notes a required 50 percent non-refundable deposit and clear return times, so plan for reliable logistics. Lake Gaston is the backdrop here—an intricate reservoir with long arms and tree-lined coves that reward riders with sheltered lanes and open bowls for building surfable wakes. The listing spells out practical local facts: the lake averages about 35 feet deep, and renters are advised to stay at least 200 feet from docks, piers and other vessels. That combination of depth and shoreline means consistent wake shape and fewer shallows to trouble a ski boat towing a rider. Operational details matter for a multi-day rental: daily rentals begin at 10:00 a.m. and must return by 4:00 p.m. on the final day; multi-day rentals can launch at 9:00 a.m. with a 4:30 p.m. return on the last day. Boats cannot be operated at night, and the dock closes at 5:00 p.m., rules that keep safety and neighborhood stewardship front and center. Pricing starts at $700 per day with a four-day minimum; confirm fuel policies and refueling expectations before you cast off. Why choose this boat? For groups who prioritize tow sports, the Bryant’s wake tower, V8 power and room for gear let you pull successive riders without overcrowding the cockpit. It’s also a practical choice for families who want a mix of adrenaline—wakeboarding and tubing—and relaxed cruising into quiet coves for a picnic and a swim. If you’re staying near Henrico or staging from the broader Lake Gaston communities, this rental converts a standard weekend into a focused water-sports trip with predictable rules and equipment. Read the operator’s policies carefully, bring spare towels and an extra fuel charge cushion, and plan for long afternoons on clean water that’s made for wakes, runs and easy afternoons afloat. On-the-water etiquette and safety make the day better for everyone: brief your driver on tow etiquette, designate a spotter when pulling riders, stow life jackets within reach, and be aware of no-wake zones and local speed limits. If you plan to teach a beginner, pick a sheltered cove away from traffic. Confirm insurance, fuel responsibilities and damage deposit with the operator before departure and paperwork.
