New here, I'm looking for a crossover boat to ski, wakeboard, and barefoot. Something with some room in it.

Slalom wake at 30mph.

Wakeboard wake for the kids?

Barefoot boat. Fast enough hull?

Thanks for the feedback!

Our bravura is a closed bow mariah. The wake is basically gone at 30 with a light load if you put around 1000# or so in her the wake is plenty good enough for wake boarding. At the end of last season we where able to surf ours still working on the setup but its do able.

We have had a few people able to barefoot from long line deepwater starts.

Only thing you really haft to watch is the nose is a bit low pretty easy to submarine if your not careful.

Not as nose low as a comp or conbrio though, so you'll have that going for ya...which is nice.

How fast is your boat, wide open, GPS.

We currently ski with my 73 ski nautique, it has a 351 with gt40p heads, intake, cam and exhaust, it pulls like crazy! If the driver is not paying attention its easy to get the footer going 46 or better. Its an absolute hoot to drive, the holeshot is off the charts! The boat is tiny however.

44 according to the perfect pass. Have found she is pretty much all out for a 200# guy to foot.
