Hi Bill, when I first started wakeboarding I was in the same boat as you...no pun intended. I wakeboarded mostly, but did slalom and pull tubes and combo skiers, then took up wakesurfing as well. I would recommend looking at a Supra Launch or Sunsport. I had a '96 Sunsport that threw a killer wakeboarding wake when loaded, but once it was empty the slalom wake was quite respectable, considering the size of the boat. Look for newer Launches with the hydrolic wake plate which can fine tune the wake for slalom, wakeboard and wakesurf. The only downside to the boat is that to get a really big wakeboard/wakesurf wake you will have to add ballast. You could probably get in a 2002 or 2003 for 30K. Hope that gives you an idea. Later Tiff
