I'm looking at a few boats right now. I wakeboard 90% of the time and surf 10% - but I could do without surfing. My options are currently:
- 2005 x-star saturday. It's got 450 hours for 35k. From what I've read they're cramped and handle poorly and suck gas - but they throw a mean wake.
- Also looking at a 2005 wakesetter that the guy wants 32k for, 475 hours. I've always ridden malibus - a 23LSV and a 2012MXZ. I've always been a fan, but mostly because these are the only boats I've ridden consistently and gotten to know the wake.
- Considering checking out a 2004 supra ssv with 320 hours.
These are my options right now.. Just curious what you guys think would be smart questions to ask, things to do, etc... I've ridden behind friends boats for the last 15 years, but this will be my first purchase so anything you guys thought in hindsight that you can share with me now would be awesome.
Price wise, I'm OK with these prices. In the market I'm in, these prices are fairly good and I've seen every boat that's appeared on CL for the last 3 months.
