Who we are

I In fact choose to use a coffeemaker to boil vegetables. Why? Because if I used something else that just makes coffee, my client would ask me "Can it boil vegetables?"

Yes, Seeing Is Believing! We started with a clean sheet. Beginning with the end in mind, we were not afraid to apply radical thinking. For the first GT series boats we built running plugs, running and working on them until the wakes and performance were worthy of being called world class. Being skiers and boarders we knew what to look for and ultimately Gekko hulls screamed on to the scene with blazing effect. Since 1995, Gekko reviews in WaterSki, Wakeboarding, Boating, Boating Life, Powerboat and others have raved about Gekko's unparalled tracking, blistering 50+mph top end, trival chine spray and wakes that produce hearty thumbs up from skiers, barefooter, wakeboarders and surfers alike. So it's no wonder that Gekko was selected as an official tow boat for World Championship events as well as other Championship events around the world. Waterskiing, the root of all water sports, was invented in Minnesota in 1922. So it's fitting that Gekkos are built in Minnesota too. In 2014, Gekko embarks on an ambitious plan to build exceptional water sports products by partnering with Larson Boats in Little Falls, Minnesota. Why should you be impressed?
