Wakeboard/Ski boat
Thinking about buying a year or two old used one but don't know a damn thing about them. Buddy has one and I liked his. With the economy the way it is here they are a dime a dozen for sale so I should be able to get a steal on a nice one.
Anyone know anything about these boats? Good ones, bad ones? What to avoid and what to get?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think the speakers are the most expensive part.

Re: Wakeboard/Ski boat
I like the wake of the Mastercraft the best. I was supposed to buy one the year before last, but the buyer backed out. I thought about a MOOMBA also, but hear you need t.o get a fairly new one. The Supras are nice, but never ridden behind one. I like the Malibu also. Remember a wakeboard boat is NOT a ski boat and vice versa. IMO I prefer a wakeboard boat with a V-drive (engine in the back instead of the middle) I find it throws a better wake. Some time this summer, I want to try to wakeboard behind a mud boat .02

Re: Wakeboard/Ski boat
If I ever get divorced, I'm selling all my duck boats and buying a pimp azz ski boat with a cooler specially built for Boone's Farm bottles. I'm gonna get a Da Kine hat and wear it backwards too.
