Nautique Supersport - we bought one for 18k but it was cherry.... there are ones with a little more "use" much cheaper.

Go that way, you will not be sorry.

If you want a v-drive, it's going to be an older Mastercraft like a Maristar or a 205V.

I had roughly the same budget as you - about $17k and I ended up with a Moomba Outback direct drive. We've very happy with it but we use it as a crossover.

I have seen a few late 90's Malibu Sunsetter V-Drives in my area (Ohio) for between 15K and 20K. I attached a photo of one that I was watching, it looked in great shape and he was asking 15.5K. Just be patient, I wouldn't expect to find one with a tower and plumbed in ballast, but that means you'll be able to put it together the way you want!

Add a tower and you're gold

the supersport sounds nice. i also have some interest in the a moomba. adding a tower is not a big deal and i think a crossover would fit my needs. thanks any other ideas help

sanger v-210. I dont know where you are located, but on the west coast, they can be found for right around this price on occasion.
