I couldn't agree more with 96Comp. My two cents anyway, but I've had the pleasure of skiing behind the new Nautique 200 / Mastercraft 14 Prostar and although I could probably get another buoy or so behind those small wakes, when I ski behind my 21V ( although I still get laughs that I take my tug boat through the course ) my frame of mind is the same. And that is to enjoy skiing, focus on body position and don't even focus on the wakes. I say that but I do ski at 32+ and the wake is smaller.
But your free skiing at 27/28 mph will be just fine. You won't regret it. My wife learned to slalom behind our boat last year and I am teaching both kids to ski behind the boat ( ages 1 and 3 ) .
There is no boat that does it all, as stated above, ski boats have no room for family gear, surf boards, on board potty ( yes I have one ), so if there was ever a great crossover, the Supra line and the SSV would be a good choice.
This year I'll have to post some vids of the Launch going through the course. I think most would be surprised at how well this boat does through the balls. My wife took one practice pass driving down the course for me, and the very next pass I hit my personal best -15 / 32 mph. The boat tracked well and took very little driver input.
Great boat the SSV.
