V-Drive for around $15k

So I'm looking to replace my 85 MC S&S with a mid to late 90s v drive. I want to wakeboard(decent wake, but doesn't need to be perfect), and wakesurf(becoming more of a first priority). Also need something to handle rough water much better than my S&S. After a few months of looking I've seen:
94-96 MC Maristar 225VRS LT1 $15k-$17k
99-00 Centurion Elite V $14k-$18k

So both roughly the same price but the Centurions are 5 years newer and have less hours. If you have experience with either or both what was your opinion of them?
