well my budget is looking somewere round 25000.
i will probably be using the boat for wakeboarding bout 70% and crusing bout 30% of the time.
as far as water conditions there will some choppy conditions mainly on busy weekends but other than that nothing rough. i am a mechanic for a living so i would say that i could almost any thing that could go wrong with it.

i appreciate your reply to my need for knowledge. Thanks agian
