Hey all

I am looking at some under 10K boats to buy/partially trade for my 2007 ZX-6R. I have been talking to a guy with a 1997 MB Sport Boss 190 but can not find much information about these boats, at least in terms of wakeboarding. It has a "wake pole" as he calls it but...well I just don't know how these perform wake-wise. I have heard some not so great things, but then seen quite a few using them. I am a beginner-intermediate rider, as are most of my friends.

I really have been looking at Supras but...this came along in my price range.

Please lend any opinions you can. Thanks so much!

Same hull as the 1991-1994 Mastercraft Prostar 190 from what I can find. Search reviews on that wake.

From the sticky thread:

Quote:
No - I wholeheartedly disagree that the Prostar 190 should be on that list. Not even a close contender. We have a Prostar 190 in my family. It is a phenomenal slalom boat but the wake is nothing compared to what is on that chart. The 190 is NOT to be confused with, or thought of like the 205. The 205 is among the best boats I have ever been behind. The Prostar 190 and Malibu Skier - are among the worst - for wakeboarding. This is meant to be a solid reference for people who are interested in a wakeboarding boat - and not every 80's and early 90's inboard makes the list. That is also a common misconception I want to word toward fixing. Another reason for the chart.
