Looking for opinions on boats and I'm sure you all have plenty....
I know that different boats throw different wakes and if you weight them properly you can get a killer wave from just about any 21' + V-Drive.
I'm looking for anything that is NOT obvious about some of the following models. Is there something I should consider before buying one of these? Is there a well-known issue that might affect one of these models? Is there a part on the boat that I should check because they are known to fail after xxx amount of hours? Just looking for some HEADS UP.
The boat will be used 95% for wakesurfing. The other 5% for cruising and wakeboarding.
So far, the best deals I've found are on a 2003-2005 Calabria ProV, Supreme V230, MB B52, or Sanger V230.
I like the size of all 4 of these. 23 footers (except the MB) with a nice wide beam. I like the Supreme because I've owned one before (v208). I like the Calabria because I used to own an Alpina and I loved that you could fill and drain the ballast in less than a minute. Sure, I'll be adding additional ballast, but it's nice that the first 700lbs will fill quickly. I like the Sanger, but this is the one I am probably least familiar with. The MB's have a good reputation and look like they're well built.
If there's anything that you know of that would help me lean one way or the other, let me know.
THANKS!
