i would do a late 90's/early 2000's v-drive. my short list includes centurion avalanche (best surf wake), nautique super sport or super air, or tige 22/23/24v. the super sport/super air is a great all-around boat, but the other two have a better rough water ride and better surf. i'd grab any one of those and throw a surf system on them, and be happy for years and years.
