everything stock is probably mid to late 90's is my guess. If you can find an older boat at a great price it may be cheaper to add an aftermarket ballast system, as well as acc.

I think internal ballast, towers and most modern wakeboarding accesories started showing up around
97. But I could be wrong.

1998- Enter the Correct Craft Air Nautique. I believe that is the first year that somebody had ballast AND a tower (1997 you could get a tower).

I remember taking that boat with the dealer to Lake Saguaro back in that year. I remember every single boat crew on the whole front part of the lake stopped and poised watching that boat idle around by the docks. What a cool feeling that I would soon be riding in it.
