Alright, I know I can do some research on my own but if someone doesn't mind... <BR> <BR>What is the best wake boat in the 20-30K range? Brand new that is. I'm not looking for a Nautique 210 or MC X-Star here.. obviously! What I am wondering is if a Nautique that isn't a 'Super Air' series might be a better investment then say a Moomba or Supra. Not saying those are bad boats but hey, we all know Nautique deserves it's rep.! <BR> <BR>On a side note, how would you fill out a pro's and con's list of a ski boat vs. a pleasure boat. <BR> <BR>Thanks!

Super Sport.

like SSV-211 and the such?

I don't believe you will find too many new Supras in that range.

There's a pretty big difference between a 20K boat and a 30K boat. Wanna narrow it down?

he said brand new. I believe the only brand new wake boat you'll get near that price is a d-drive moomba.

The resale is much better on a ski boat than a pleasure boat. I'm not sure but I don't think you will get a Supra for less than 40k out the door. I know you can get a Moomba cheaper than the Supra. Elane just bought his Moomba maybe he will share cost on the Moomba.

Yea I supose the price range was a little unrealistic unless your talking used. What I was really trying to avoid was all the options and packages that can make any boat compareable to any other boat depending how you stack the packages. <BR> <BR>Also, used isn't bad so long as very low hours and within a year maybe two old.

lol, looks like your headed for a mooomba outback.

Thats what I was thinking, thanks for the help all! Guess im gonna just do the 226.

"What I was really trying to avoid was all the options and packages that can make any boat compareable to any other boat depending how you stack the packages" <BR> <BR>What??? <BR> <BR>226? are you serious? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by EWATER on July 22, 2006)

How do you go from 20-30k to a 226. If you were thinking of a 226 why did you set that kind of price range??? You can get the Supra 24 ssv gravity games edition along with many other great boats for less than a 226.

Yea you could but it's not a Nautique. If I could stay under 30K and get a nice new boat, not a Moomba, fine! But if not, may as well go and do the dang thing!

Wow... so what color do those Nautique goggles come in?

how much is a dd launch? there nice with a nice wake. probably 36k?

Yea no disrespect to other brands and their respected owners! You like what you like. Dream boat would have to be a 220, I ride behind my buddies and that this is spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!

882001 <BR> I think they are a couple of thousand cheaper than a v-drive. Might as well get the v-drive. <BR> <BR>Paul <BR> You better just "Go and do the dang thing". Sounds like you have plenty of $$$$ so no need to worry about best bang for you're buck.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

I had a friend that had a Launch and the main deck fell apart. I think it was a lemon though cause thats just crazy. It was at the factory getting fixed for months.

sell 4-5 homes and pay cash for a 210. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

220!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big fan now. Although I can't wait to see what they do with the new layout of the 210.

Sell 4-5 homes pay and pay cash I understand. <BR>I don't under stand asking for a new boat at 20-30k and then jump straight to a 226 and then a 220.

Bait.

Haha, 220 is out of the question, my buddy has that so i'm good there. I've been looking more and the SV-211 is starting to look very promising!
