I owned a 94 Skier which I sold last year, and upgraded to a used v-drive. I bought the boat as a slalom boat, and you can't beat the value equation for a no frills ski boat. My kids got into wakeboarding and we transformed the boat with a pylon and fat sacs. You will max out on weight and run out of room pretty fast. Put some weight up front and it helps move the sweet spot back. We achieved a good, medium size wake. Plenty of fun, and my son was doing inverts, but they had to be executed precisely (and quickly). He progressed beyond the capabilities of that boat. If you get it at the right price, it will hold it's value, and you may want to upgrade in the future. I loved that boat, but I'm a slalom guy at heart.
