The Sunsport by a mile. If you plan to use this boat as a wakeboarding boat primarily, then the Brendella would be a big mistake. Don't expect to get much of a wake from those 80's & 90's closed bow slalom boats. Only notable exception in the 80's closed bow category is Ski Nautique.
The Sunsports and other large early Supras are standouts in the budget boat category. I am a huge fan. You'll have more room on the Supra, more places to stash ballast, more room for amenities. The Supra can also be weighted creatively too, so that you aren't tripping over ballast all over the place.
Oh yeah and the Supra is also a way better deal. 6k for that? Hell if you don't get it I may
This is a no brainer, in my opinion. I would love to see more photos of the Supra though - and compression test results. It looks like the owner is indicating a worn interior. I can reccomend a good shop for you if you need to have the upholstery done. Looks like you are in RI. I am in MA.
Supra. No contest.
Best of luck.

Erik, Thanks for all that input. The Brendella is out. I'm going to call to go look at the sunsport today. And I will let you know If I end up needing someone for the interior.
If this boat does need a complete interior makeover, what would one cost? roughly.
ricktrav, nice wake. the back left looks like it has a nice peak to it.
