I've always wondered why more people didn't look at the older Maristars as potential wake boats, due to their reasonable pricing and being V-Drive. We have a Maristar 225 VRS, very similar but longer. We run about 650 pounds of ballast (water/lead) always, and then try to load the boat with people for the best wake. The other day with 10 in the boat, the wake was gorgeous. I haven't ridden behind a ton of boats, but some of the more experienced riders in our crew agreed that it was right up there with the newer boats on our lake. With a just a couple people in the boat, our crew can throw back rolls and 3's easily. When we really load it down, I'd say about anything is possible. My opinion is that the boat you are looking at, with weight added, would throw a very nice wake.
