I am 39 and after skiing for many years, have started wakeboarding this year - and love it. Looking forward to teaching our kids as well. We have owned many boats from 22' bow riders to currently a 34' cruiser. Here are our "requirements" and I would appreciate any thoughts on boats that meet these criteria under $30K: - 22' to 24' feet. We need the room for the 4 of us and maybe 4 guests on occasion to spend the day on the water. - handles rough water well. We boat on a large lake with a lot of summer traffic including 50' + cruisers making big wakes. - walk through to transom. Do not want to have to crawl over a rear sunpad. - MPI engine - no carpet (snap in is OK). I do not like having wet carpet - We would really like a head in the boat but I realize I am pushing my luck :-) - I am less concerned about the wake as the extent of our tricks will be to eventually jump a wake if we are lucky. Did I mention I am 39? I am not opposed to a boat 6-10 years old if it meets these criteria. I realize I am looking for the comforts of a 23'-24' bowrider in a wakeboat. Is it possible?
