I'm ready to buy my first boat this year and want to start narrowing down my options. Top choice is a ~2005 SANTE, but open to 05-09 VLX, early Axis A22, etc. Great CLEAN wake is number one priority, and would like to stay around 21-22 feet as I'll be towing with a V8 4Runner.

My biggest question is around cruise control. My dad's 05 VLX can't hold a speed with Perfect Pass (paddle wheel) while weighted no matter what we do to the settings, so we just freehand it. But I'll be riding with lots of unexperienced drivers so GPS cruise seems like a must for this boat. From what I understand, retrofitting GPS cruise control is very difficult / expensive. Maybe even impossible depending on the engine?

Can anyone shed some insight on that? How old can I go and still get GPS cruise? I'm trying to keep the budget to 30-35k so I can go cash, but if needed I could consider newer / more expensive and financing.
