I am going to be buying a new boat and was curious what would work best for wakeboarding, a malibu sunsetter, malibu echelon, or the tige slm. I figure the tige will be worst but where do the other two fall?

I would go for the sunsetter

if i am correct, the tige slm is a slalom ski boat..it wont have a nice wake..but if it has the TAPS system then it would be good...i'd take teh sunsetter as Kewlboarder27r said

The tiges arent really that great, and that TAP's system is bogus. They need to implement some sort of ballast. Even now, a buddy of mine has the 22 footer that they offer in black and yellow. With his TAP adjusted to maximum specs, my old Xstar with just 500 pounds of center ski locker ballast owned his wake. I dunno, just never felt strongly about the Tiges. They used to be rather popular back in the day when they had that 21V riders edition but sort of disappeared after that. The malibu is a good choice though.

P.S. Feel free to flame me. Twisted Evil

The sunsetter has the same hull as the wakesetters. Get a v-drive w/ a tower and wedge, and it will put out advanced-level wakes
