We had a 89 closed bow for a cpl. years, and IMHO it was a great boat. The max. amount you can load them up with ballast is around 1500 lbs., but even with that and a 4 blade prop the boat had no prob getting out of the hole. Wake is avg. width/heighth with no visible lip, kind of a round top to it, but always stayed clean riding at 25MPH/80+ ft. of rope. Personally I learned alot of "advanced" tricks behind our TriStar, and I kinda miss it. If the price is right, say under 9K, this is a great starter boat.
