Any input would be appreciated. I'm finally ready to buy my first new boat. I know I should Demo them but feel like if I could make a good choice now I can have it for this summer VS Doing demos this summer and waiting till fall to buy. Wanting to buy new and have long warranty, least amount of hassle and get all the new features. Current boat is a 2004 Wakesetter 21 vlx. I like the boat but time for NEW. My house is on the water, lake is only 2000' long, has a slalom course, goes from 6'-30' deep. There is no idle zone, its very convenient, too small to really do anything but take your runs so we don't need a lot of space, bling, big stereo or comfort features. My crew is usually small, 3 adults 2 kids max and lots of times just two of us(no spotter needed :-). None of us are great at anything. Barely learning to surf, lucky to 180 on wakeboard and haven't even tried slalom yet. Kids are just now ready to get behind the boat. On my small lake I like the idea of a 20' boat and have to stay right at 21' or less for sure. I think we will take advantage of the slalom course someday but I want to place priority on Surf wave since any wakeboard wake of a new boat should suffice for our level. I have been trying to investigate the potential boats. MC NXT20, Nautique GS20, Tige R20, Malibu VTX, Axis A20. I keep going back to the Tige R20. It can be had with the stuff I want for $70k and I love the way it looks. Seems to have a great surf wave for the size too. 2nd in line is the VTX, then I'm not sure from there. I want to buy a boat now to get boat show prices and be ready for this summer but the problem is I haven't even seen a R20 or VTX in person. They didn't have either at the Kansas City boat show and will not have any at any of the nearby boat shows coming up. I'm strictly going off what I see online. As you can see I'm still trying to work this out but just looking for opinions on some of these boats for my situation. There is a 2017 GS20 close by but its hard to justify the extra $25k.
