Does anyone know of any inexpensive wakeboarding boats?
Any sites selling these?

Moomba is the least expensive brand I can think of. You can search for moombas on the web, but I don't think you can like order one off the internet. (I only said that because you asked if there are any SITES selling these...)

HA! Pretty much any I/O will do the trick as well, with enough weight, so don't exclude them...

i bought my 88 bayliner capri for $3450 cash(all saved up from pizza delivery tips), granted its not a wakeboard specific boat boat but its in perfect condition and runs well and all i could possibly afford anyways. i slapped a tower on it and got a 600 lb fat sac and am more than satisfied with my setup. ive found it doesnt affect the amount of tricks possible just the heighth that you can do them. i hope to upgrade my boat someday when i have more money but for now i can go wakeboarding whenever i want and dont have to worry about any financial issues, except for gas of course. having a boat is better than no boat at all, and even if its not a bad ass $50,000 boat, there are tons more wakeboarders in this world than wakeboard boat owners so just be glad you have something to ride behind, its probably a lot more than most people have.
peace

I have a 1986 Malibu Sunsetter that I bought for less than 5 grand, put a tower on it, and will be redoing the interior next season. I haven't put any weight in it yet, but the wake is good. Plus it is open bow and has a good bit of room in it compared to most of the other DD ski boats of this era.

A '88 Bayliner Capri that's paid for sounds pretty SWEET to me! You'll never offord a $50k wakeboard boat if you're 22 and in debt over your head.

The 1980's Nautiques are well loved for wakeboarding. You can pick them up in the $6-$10K range, add some wieight and a tower or pylon and it will take you quite far as a rider in developing your skills for a ton less than a new wakeboat.

I have a 1971 Del Magic. The engine is an outboard Evinrude 70hp. I bought it for $1350 and It does great. It will pull a wakeboard up with 4 people no problem. The boat will soon be crisoned with the name "The Vintage".

I agree. I also have a turned my Bayliner into a lean, mean wakeboarding machine. It definately does the trick for now.
