I'm new to WW and a soon to be first time boat owner. I'm in Oregon and trying to find a decent winter deal. I've skied for years on a friends 01 ski nautique and I'm ready to buy something for the family. Mainly I'd like to find something that will hold more than 8, in case we invite friends. Since I can always ski on the Nautique, I'd rather have something that is decent for surfing/wakeboarding but can be used for skiing for beginning skiers. Seems like the X9 below would be a good fit. Here are a few of the boats I've looked at online and a few in person. Any opinions anyone has about these boats that are on my shopping list would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, is it me or are boats more expensive in Oregon?
I looked at a 03 Centurion but the seats were beat up and no radio. they were asking $12.5k which seemed too high considering what i'd need to do to fix it up. Also, the interior seemed a bit cramped

I looked at a 99 sanger but it was pretty rough looking (screws popping out of the floorboard) and he was asking $18k. I also didn't like the fact that he said "always garaged" in his ad despite telling me it has been on the water all summer.
I've got my eye on this X9 and want to look at it next week.

While browsing around this Moomba also caught my eye but I don't know anything about them. I've never been on one.

A centurion avalanche about the same price as the moomba:

Ultimately this 2002 X30 looks to be my favorite but it seems to be a bit outside of my price range:
