I'm new to the site and would love some help! My husband and I are going to be making our first boat purchase very soon and I'm not certain what the best boat for us is - even after hours on this site and reading countless reviews. I love wakesurfing (not a pro by any means), so that it what I will mainly use the boat for. I do like to wakeboard, and so do my friends. My friends are much more advanced than I am, so unless the wake is awful, it's really not a huge concern for me. Also, I come from a family of expert level skiers (don't judge
) and still love to break out my slalom on occasion, so when we have the fam with us, there will be skiing.
We've narrowed it down to a 2014 Nautique 230 or Malibu 23 LSV and need help deciding. The Malibu dealer also really hyped up the Axis, so that has added to my confusion! Should I consider saving some coin and going with an axis? Our local dealer only sells malibu, but is adding axis next summer, so we'd have to buy an axis at a dealer about 1.5 hours away (local dealer is 20 mins from home) - same with Nautique. My sister has a 2013 malibu 24 lsv and I'm familiar with mailbus, but I love the look of the new nautiques - don't want to base this kind of a decision solely on aesthetics, though. Please help!
Thanks in advance!
