We are considering a 2005 Malibu Sunsetter LXI. My wife and a few friends like to ski. The rest of us wakeboard.The boat we are looking at has Mls ballast and the wedge.What do you think? Is compromise a good thing?

Let the skiers use a ski boat and you get a v-drive. After a while everyone will be a boarder and you'll be set.

Yep I am. So I understand your plight, be patient she'll come around.

What were you thinking marrying a skier! Just kidding

if i were u i would get the 21XTI.my friends have one and it puts out a really sick wakeboarding wake when we load it with a couple thousand pounds and when they empty it all its a ski boat again.when i say really sick wake im talkin bout a wake that i prefer more then most Vdrives

I've got an '02 lxi. I really like the boat. the wake will not get as big as many other boats, due to the 'lifting hull' but it is big enough for me. and i have never had complaints from pros that have ridden behind it.

when you say they ski... do they ski buoys and ski competitively? If they are recreational/intermediate skiers a v-drive isnt going to kill them
