Mastercraft X-10 or Malibu VLX?

I had a Malibu VLX a couple of years ago, but had to sell it for financial reasons. Now I'm ready to get back into it. A friend wants to sell me his 2003 Mastercraft X-10, but I can get a 2003 Malibu VLX for about the same. I pretty much wakeboard only, no skiing. Both boats are equipped about the same, both have triple ballast, but of course only the Malibu has The Wedge.

I'm biased in favor of the Malibu, since I had one before. Any opinions here?

Well your questioning it and obviously liked the malibu. Stick w/ it.

I am not a MC fan and a BU owner, but between the 2 boats, IMHO the VLX is the way to go. However, don't take the advice of a bunch of Internet FE's, get the boat that fits your lifstyle.

Both are well made and will be great for riding, although the VLX will be a better pure WB boat. The X10 will have a better rough water ride if that's important.

Good luck, either one sounds nice.

I second what Ron stated.
