After reading most comments, it seems most are leaning towards a v-drive. Two things that I learned from my parents about buying expensive items and boats. 1st Buy what you really want the first time it will be cheaper than trying to make another purchase in a few years. 2nd, Buy the most boat you can afford. That what you won't say, I wish I would have.

I wouldn't be shy about looking at a used boat. Lots of good boats to be had. Save your money instead of taking the financial hit of a new one. When it comes to suggesting a boat to fit you style, maybe a Mobius Ls. Still in the moomba family so you know you are getting a good value. Handles like a DD, cause it is and had a better wake for boarding? Just a thought. It just depends on how you want your interior laid out and how much you want to spend.
