I have the same 2002 Launch SS, love it for the very reason that I can Ski and wakeboard with just a flip of the switch and a little ballast trimming. Looking for a barefoot boom now, I managed to step off a ski for the first time in 20 years in September. What a adrenaline rush. The fear of falling face first! I do love the boat though, very family friendly and a big floating party platform for those days we don't ski.
