I'm considering getting a bowrider, and the neice and nephew are just
getting interested in Wakeboarding. Is it realistic to expect to get decent
wakeboarding performance with a 20 or 22 foot bowrider (with a tower)? I
know the people really into watersports get specialized skiboats, but my old
body won't put up with the pounding.

I'm considering the upper-range to midrange bowriders, i.e .Chapparel,
Cobalt, Four Winns, etc.

Do any of them specifically stand out for sports (actually, for
wakeboarding, as nobody in the family seems interested in skiing).

Thanks,

Matthew.
