You will definitely want a direct drive, and get one with a narrow beam so you can still use the slalom course (96" or less). I love my Supra, but would also be happy with a Malibu Sunsetter or Air...

Bryan - What did Island Marine do that upset you? I bought my boat from them and they do backflips to make me happy. I could not be happier with my boat, so I am just curious what transpired.

I have the 2001 Sunsport, which is the Launch SS without launch graphics. It has an excellent ski wake, and IMO a very good wakeboard wake. I ski some in a ski club that uses a Malibu Response, and...

My Supra dealer, Island Marine, is in Corona SW of the I-15/91 interchange. They are obviously Indmar certified, so you can do any service or warranty work there (if you have warranty remaining).
