are you thinking about buying it to wakeboard? It really depends on who you ask and what you're trying to do with it...

you might get more resposes with this question in the boats and accessories forum but.. since i'm here and typing..

Ok, For wakeboarding, if the alternative is nothing at all then yes it would be better then that.. but only just barely. If you have friends you can bum rides off of while saving for a nice used V-drive or D-Drive all sacked out, or even a big IO (with more then 200hp)with sacks. I would have to tell you to ride with friends and $ave.

Sea Ray makes a nice boat but a 16' boat without weight is going to throw a tiny wake and with only 130 hp you wont have the power to sack it out and pull a rider holding a consistant speed
