invisible lower unit. nice.

any boat is better than no boat. if that's what's in your budget, go for it. the hull seems fairly deep and wide, you might be able to make the wake decent.

if I may, that boat looks like it needs a bunch of work. the wake may not be as much of a consideration as plain old seaworthiness. any other options?

If the price is less than $1,000 it will be an ok beginner boat.

Everybody starts somewhere! Just remember that it will never have the best wake and be the easiest to drive. It is what it is and if you can live with that - than you have yourself a boat. Oh, and you can find a lower unit.

Second one. The first one concerns me because, if someone actually plays basketball on that goal in the background, what was their idea for using that boat the right way?
