Well, I'm still evaluating my options here, and was just wondering what are good options for less expensive boats. I'm not saying I won't be buying a new boat, but info is very easy to find on new models. I understand now from another thread that older "wakeboard" boats were really just ski boats with towers. 90% of the time I will be using the boats will be wakeboarding, but I still want to be able to (gasp!)ski or tube. So I want a good all around boat but one that would be good for wakeboarding, again wakeboarding is my main concern. I've already decided I'm not spending 40-50k on a new boat but thats not to say I want a 10k boat either.
Again, at the moment I'm still just collecting info and seeing what my options are. Any info would be appreciated. I understand that I want to go with an inboard, but are there any specific boats that would be "bad" for wakeboarding? or any other things I should be careful about when buying an older boat (more so boats or features to avoid that would effect wakeboarding, I already know to look for structural defects, wear etc).
Basically I don't want to end up buying a boat that will be crap for wakeboarding, so I plan on sticking with the major brands(MC,Malibu,Tige,supras etc) But I know that older Tiges aren't great for wakeboarding either.
In conclusion, this post was way too long, and I feel like I just got done writing an english essay. However any info (although I'm not even sure what I asked) would be apprecoated again.

P.S. whats going on? where am I? I confused myself so if you're confused too just ignore me =P

Looks at from Malibu (Sunsetter VLX, Sunsetter, Sunsetter LXi), Mastercraft (ProStar 205, ProStar 205V), Nautique (Sport, Super Sport), Supra (Sunsport). They should all be pretty good wakeboard boats. The ones available in the Mid to late 90's should be at a good price between $15k-$25k. I'm sure others will have some good altenatives.

Have lots of fun. You will have lots to choose from! Drive them all... don't rush into anything. Try and get out with the owner of the boat and see how they weight it... etc... Talkt o the local dealers to see if they know anything about the boat and see if they will continue good service to you.

Again, have fun!!! Lots of boats out there!!!

Don,t forget about Sanger's...one of most under-rated boat's out there. Not alot of weight needed for a great boarding wake either.
