Want a decent size boat for my family of 5 and another family. Tired of climbing over things on other people's boats. Looking at the ones above. I have a 9 and 10 year old boys who are starting to wakeboard, but will also want to tube and ski. Want something to last for years to come as they improve as wakeboarder. Nice ride, good looking, reliable!

Also....if anyone is selling one in California...late model at good price...like to hear about it.

Like to get inputs.

Thanks!!!

You also might look at the Moomba XLV it can hold 16 people and throws a good wake. I have not riden behind any of the boats you have listed above.

the X-30 is the maristar 230, but wakeboard specific...I have the maristar with a tower and ballast and it is great.. it is roomy and comfortably fits people up to capacity, and throws a great wake too. I know nothing about any of the other boats

Malibu LSV will hold 14 people too

I ride behind a weighted X-30 down at school and I have to say I love the amount of cargo space. Not to mention a world class wake.

i would go x30 hands down. very nice rampy wake throws out a good one pretty big with just stock, holds your fam of 5 your others and then some. nice audio inside. and resale value is alot better than any other boats you mentioned.

I checked on all these boats as well. It came down to a combination of wake and storage- Moomba XLV GG all the way- of course I personally don't care for the LSV wake, I don't care for the area Mastercraft dealer, and there is no Sanger or Cent., dealer, so the choice was pretty easy. The Tige 24V is very nice but I have never seen the wake.

I have ridden behind all of these boats and the 23 Wakesetter LSV has by far the best wake. It was comprable to my old X-2 and very comprable to my SAN. It is the same hull as the new VLX. If you weight that down, the wake will be huge...
PS
I coached behind an LSV by the way, and it was NICEEEEEE

If you want a boat that will last and will fit a lot of people, check out the Malibu Sunscape 23' LSV. It has a great wake for wakeboarding, but you can empty out the ballasts and have a great ski wake. The Wakesetter LSV is great too, but more geared toward wakeboarding, but it puts out a nice ski wake. We have the Malibu Sunscape 25' LSV. This boat is huge. It fits tons of people and throws a huge wake, but also is pretty good for skiing. I guess it really just depends on your price range.
