I currently have a 1995 prostar 205 mastercraft and ride a old 99 cwb tagger. I have just learned to clear the wake and have been planing on getting a new board but my uncle said it may be more worth it to buy a fat sac instead. What do you guys think?

Board, I'd say. Learn all the basics (toeside, switch, 180's, surface tricks) properly with a not-so-big wake, then take 'm all bigger with the fatsac.

Def go with new board I couldnt agree more with FlyZone CR. Think about how far boards have came in 13 yrs. You will prob ride alot better with just a new board

What bindings are you using? I have not been riding that long either but will say the best thing that I ever bought for wake boarding was my Ronix One bindings.
