Good evening folks.
First off i want to apologize for beating a dead horse. I've read so many comparisons with so many biased opinions, i'm not sure what to think.
Okay... I'm a beginner wakeboarder. I'm coming from a weighted down 2005 bayliner 175 flight series (tower). Having a boat that throws a decent (better than the 175) is just as important as being comfortable for 5-7 people. I'm looking to trade up this weekend. I've got two boats in mind but i'm on a budget. I'm in Central Florida and both boats are fresh water boats.
Option a. 1995 Mastercaft prosport 205. Can be had for $8500 or so. Comes with a boat cover. 450 hours. 5.7 v8. Extremely clean.
option b. 2000 Moomba outlook. Can be had for $11000 or so. Comes with two tubes, bimini, boat cover, two sets of skis. 450 hours. 5.7 v8. 450 hours. absolutely spotless. Looks like new.
Now, i need to reiterate. i'm a beginner wakeboarder at best. i can throw a 180. I have to fat sac (500lb's + passengers) to get what i call a good wake. I'm 50 feet behind the boat which is honestly about 10 feet too far as the wake becomes mush. I'd love to have a vdrive and/or spend 20k on a spectacular boat but it's not going to happen. 11k is my limit. I'm looking for something reliable, roomy, and a good all around boat. It appears these two boats are extremely similar outside of the names. We spend just as much time cruising our local chain of lakes as skiing/wakeboarding.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Sam
