Boat Help Pls!

[bogeyb00]

Looking for a used boat and need help..so many options out there my head is going to explode!

Boat use will be primarily wake surfing & wake boarding for me and the family (5) on Shuswap Lake. Hoping to get everything I need within a reasonable budget ..$40,000K.

1. Good wake surfing wake with hopefully skipping the hassle of fat sacks (goofy & regular riding- Beginner to intermediate)

2. Quality & Reliability (family with me ya know)

3. A boat that can hold resale reasonably well

Some boats I have been looking at:

2006 Air Nautique Team 210 ($35k)
2008 Centurion Enzo 22 ($45k -little pricey)
2007 Malibu Wakesetter VTX ($40k)
2006 Tige 22 VE ($42K)

I'm not really stuck on one brand or another but I want to make the right choice for the first one

Thanks in Advance Everyone!!

The 06 210 would be my choice out of the bunch follow by the Wakesetter.

If I had a 40k budget it would be axis a22 hands down. It meets all your criteria also. jmo.

1. You'll have to use fat sacs for a decent surf wave no matter what boat you pick.

2. This will have a lot to do with the previous owner's care of the boat.

3. All boats listed are going to hold their value

With a budget of $40K, I would also be shopping for a early Axis A22 that hasn't been abused.

Best of luck in your search!

don't be in a rush and look for deals...i ended up getting my 2008 x45 for $50k on ebay in winter of 2010

I was well down the road on this boat before i found something local with a very motivated owner.

Highly recommend pursuing it, he's a legit dude
