To look good or not to look good. That is the ?

Whats is the difference if you own a 05 x star or a 90 Bayliner for wakeboarding? can you WB good enough to where you would notice the difference behind the boat ? Seeing owners with these boats make me wonder if this is a power trip, I was at the boat show yesterday and saw nice ski boats for around 10k and then you have WB boats for 50k, Then I was asking myself why would I spend 50k on a boat when I will only use it 10 times a year, (also depending on the weather) and I don't even know how to WB, But If I where to learn how to WB do I need a 50k WB boat?
But Whatever, Like the old saying says-- As long as I look good in it then It shouldn't matter--

I don't want to offend anyone who owns a 50k WB boat, but can someone please tell me why they have one. or is it cause you or someone else wants to be a pro rider someday..
