David,
A good friend of mine has a '98 200 plus. Don't know if the hull changed, but I doubt it.
I can tell you it is one of the very best WATERSKIING wakes I've ever seen, but to get any kind of wake out of it, he needs to have it full of people and sacks, and then it's only an OK wakeboarding wake.
It is a solid, well built boat, and he has not and any problems with it, so if you want to ski and recreational wakeboard it should be fine.
Don't know about surfing, so maybe someone could add to this, but I think it might sink before you could get a decent surf wake out of it.
