Gekko just re-introduced the GTS-20. It bases out at $21k. Add a factory tower for $1,600. It was designed as a three-event boat, but properly weighted it throws a decent wake (Fat Sack Lounge in back and a 300 lbs under the bow). It was not designed to compete with the SAN TE, but it is less than half the price without buying "someone else's problem" used boat.
And yes, it is fast.
