Hey guys, here is the story...

I grew up going to the river with the family, ski/knee/tube/wake behind a jet boat and an I/O.

I am now looking at buying a used boat for myself and would like to stay around or under $10K.

The people that I have talked to so far have tried to steer me towards direct drive boats (MasterCraft, etc..). I am a newbie wakeboarder and don't need a perfect wake or anything like that. I don't know much (other than what I've read) about the different drive types and their specific differences, but I don't remember ever having a problem getting yanked out of the water and holding steady speeds in jet boats, i/o, and outboard boats.

I see pretty nice looking boats ready to go for around 6-7 grand, but I don't know much about the brands, which motors have a good history for running a long time, resale value, maintenance, etc...

So what do you guys think? With the money I've got to spend, what is my best bet?

Thanks in advance!
