Thanks Willy, that is some good straightforward advice. I was kind of
going
down that path towards a v-drive.

One boat available in my area that looks interesting is a MAXUM, but
it's
not one the common name brands, do they make a decent platform?


Maxum is an I/O. VERY hard to maintain wakeboard speed, and slalom
wakes stinks.

I see lots of people saying "V" drives????????? You said slalom expert
use. and wakeboard intermediate use. That puts you in the Malibu
Response LX class. Great slalom wake, and drop the wedge for the
wakeboard. Tons of them on boattrader.com for under $20K
