1999 196 SN and wake size?

i would look for a 80's 2001 nautique or a early 90's i started out with a 90 sn with a tower a four blade prop and about 1600 pounds of ballast worked great but boat struggled. i talked with a friend who works for correct craft and he told me that they tested with the 90-96 nautique hull when they where first starting to build a wakeboard specific boat. i finally upgraded to a 2001 SAN and haven't been behind any boat that would match the wake it is huge expecially when you add extra ballast. good luck on your search!!!!!!!

That boat has the TSC (Total Surface Control) hull. One of my ski partners bought one last summer, great wake for skiing. We have loaded it down with 2 and 3 sacs and the wake gets bigger but the shape is too roll-y for lift off. If you plan on doing much boarding i would pick another boat. 90-96 SN hull is much more an all-around boat. Newer Super sports and Air Nautiques w/ FCT if your budget allows are made to board. Good Luck but dont buy a TSC and expect boarding wakes.
