I´m thinking about a wb boat. After searching and reading lots of topics in this forum, I have not seen anyone mentioned a MARADA BOAT.

I have the possibility to buy: a) Marada 21ft 2000 Bowrider 5.7 mercruiser around $9k, or b) Marada 20ft 1998 ski edition, around $12k.

Would appreciate any comments, or if could tell me a better boat for that kind of $$.

rappleby99- i bought a 1997' 19' marada the end of last summer, it also has the 5.7l engine. ive had the boat in the water for a couple of weeks and have wakeboarded twice behind it. im new to all this so have nothing to compare it too. i added a monster tower and am about to replace the prop. so far im loving both the boat and wakeboarding. i cant wait to get home from work so i can go out and ride!

Thanks scottb18. Let me know how´s the wake working for you. Currently I have an 18ft outboard boat, so i guess a marada i/o should be a nice improvement, considering I don´t have $30k to spend on a used wb specific boat.

as far as the wake goes ive never ridden behind any other boat so i honestly cant compare it to anything. im new to the sport so im just learning how to jump. from what i can tell by adjusting the trim a little you can create a nice size wake. for my first setup, i cant compain. hope this helps.
