I ride behind a honda aquatrax. They cost less than the sea-doos but are just as good. @ 55-60 ft. back the wake is about 8 in high tops. I ride 65 ft. back (new rope) and the wake is 5 or 6 in. tops. The wkae is washy, decent shape, and you can only decnt height of a d-up or other boats wake. The Sea-Doo Wake is probably the same just cleaner, it doesn't matter at that sized wake anyway. If you get a honda don't get the turbo or you'll wear it out fast, then the jet ski won't run.

PWCs are good for persons just learning how to get up and cross the wake and are great for wakeskates or wakeboarding with rails/kickers. PWCs are also pretty fun when you first get them for cruising and doing top spins etc. but that stuff gets routine pretty quickly. Seadoo makes a wake specific PWC with a pylon, but just about any 3 seater will have a place to tow from but none will have a wake worth anything to do wake to wake tricks.

If you are on a PWC budget and really want to wakeboard I would try to find a 10 y.o. I/O.
