95 Ski Nautique ok for wakeboardin

Thanks everyone for replies and thoughts. I test drove the 95 and it was pretty beat up compared to the 88. Plus the price came down a bit on the 88 and had a flitepipe and bimini top and was in excellent condition. So we're now official SN owners and really excited! Will post pic to our profile.

I put a 600lb on each side of the dogbox. So 1,200 lbs total ballast. With 4 people in the boat plus ballast it puts out a very respectable wake for a slalom boat. Speed all depends on the rider. I rode at 23-24mph at 75' of line.

bhectus -- thanks for your prompt reply! How much ballast did you add and where? I've read about some folks adding 1k# which doesn't leave a lot of room for skiers. What was the optimal wakeboard speed?

I'm a long time fan of cc and just about to purchase my first one! I have a choice between a very nicely maintained 88 with 700 hrs or a pretty well maintained single owner 95 with 470 hrs priced better.

I slalom and I'm just getting my kids into water sports. I'm sure we'll want to learn wakeboarding. Although I like the 95 roominess, I'm concerned the wake will be too flat for wakeboarding?   I've definitely read that on searches already. Wondering if kids could still have a good time on a wakeboard on a 95 or do I need to stick with the 88?
