Help me buy a new (used) boat.

[taitrt]

So, what I WANT may not exist. I'm looking for you experts to help me pick out a boat model that does the most things that I am looking for.

I use my boat quite a bit (a 18' I/O marada sport). My wife and I spend about 70% of our boating time in rivers and lakes and 30% just boating out to a little spoil island in tampa bay (salt water). I am a beginner/intermediate wakeboarder and do not need a crazy huge wake, but I have riden behind a wakesetter with about 3000lbs and it's not like I'd turn it down.


Here's a list of the MUSTS:

*Must be under $20,000
*Must be able to go in salt water without destroying the engine.
*Must be 20' or SMALLER.

Here's a list of WANTS:

*Decent wake
*Tower
*Ability to wakesurf

Here's a list of things that I want but am willing to give up for a better price:

*Doesn't have to be a v-drive
*Doesn't have to be super cushy inside
*Doesn't have to be a big brand like MC or Malibu.

Any suggestions?

What would happen if I took this boat in salt water?
