New to the forum... first post... really hoping for some help figuring out what boats to look for.
I am hooked on wake surfing - my kids too - I need a boat but am on a tight budget. A very good friend has a 2014 Moomba that we wakesurf behind and love it but now I need my own boat so we can go whenever we want.
$25K is where I need to be. I am 100% ok with an older boat and with the likely need for adding ballast and potentially other gear to an older boat to optimize it for wake surfing. I have rebuilt boats from the ground up and have the proverbial awesome set of tools and equipment. Tackling mechanical stuff is not an issue but that said I want to surf, not rebuild an entire boat.
I believe a V-Drive would be best. I am guessing the early 2000's or very late 1990s is going to be mandated due to my price limit.
So... specifically what makes and models would fit this need? Where should I look? What should I avoid? Any details or explanations is greatly appreciated. It can get very confusing, often because the abbreviations used go over my head because I am not up to speed at all on the different makes and models.
THANK YOU!!!!
