launch vs santera

[wakeboard dad]

I've narrowed my search for the wakeboard boat to supra or moomba. I have a line on 2 used boats. 2001 launch and a 2000 santera.

Opinions please?

Thanks

I think they are both great boats, I just went thru a search and Got a 2001 Launch, I think the resale will be better with the Supra and I love this boat Great quality abd reputation. The way one dealer put it to me was Moomba is the toyota and Supra is the Lexas, but a lot depends on price, you could probably buy a new Mommba for what you pay for a used Supra, We looked at them ALL from Centurion to Correct craft and everything inbetween. I love this boat!!!!!!!!!!

A santera is a top line Supra v-drive. Supra's rule. I'm just trying to figure which one will best meet my needs.

exactly what are your needs?

the launch probably comes with tower and more wakeboarding goodies than the santera but you never know with a used boat.

more details please.

I thought you mentioned Moomba? I like the santera with the walk thru transom it,s nice , do you ski or board? Hours and condition being the same, I like the launch only because it takes the V drive out of the loop does the Santera have a tower? and ballast? I have a 24 fott Chris craft that I use as my all around boat, so room was not a factor for us , but if it was my only boat the V drive gives you a little mor freedom.I just got the new Malibu sales lit for 2004, If the boats are as $$$$$$$$ as the lit they are going to go the root of Mastercraft, how is the market in your area this time of year?

Launch and Santera are both great boats. If you into family day at the lake, I'd go for the Santera. If your core wakeboarder I'd go for the Launch because of where you put the ballast. Most weight in V-Drive goes up front and the Santera has a walkthru bow and it hard to get enough up there. However ive never rode behind the 2000 Santera. Did Supra not change the hull in 2001???? If you know please respond. I would like to know what the 2000 wake is like.

My needs are simple. Wakeboard boat with ballast, tower, perfect pass. Sentera does not have this but price may become factor. Santera might be slighly less. Then could I add tower and built-in ballast and have what I want. I'm definately leaning toward the Launch but just wanted other opinions.

Thanks
