'84 mastercraft to '93 Sport Nautique

[rcr1996]

Hi guys! I have a '84 Stars & Stripes Mastercraft that I just finished refurbishing this spring and it is a great all-round boat for skiing and toy pulling. The problem I have is that my 17 year old son is getting into wakeboarding pretty strong and this boat just doesn't do the trick even with fat sacks.

I know someone that is selling their '93 open bow sport nautique in great shape for $14k. I really would like some opinions on whether this boat is a good choice for the money to wakeboard behind? Will this boat provide the wake needed or should I look at another later model nautique?

Thanks!

That is a very good boat for wakeboarding. I would say that that hull is the basis for a lot of correct craft's more recent wakeboarding specific boats like the "air" series.

are you interested in selling your stars and stripes?

Is it the style that still has teh square windosw? if so, i was told by a friend who has ridden behind one like that who said it had a very nice wake, similar to the 2001's when weighted right. if it is the round ones, it will still have a good wake, much better than the old stars and stripes

If you would consider a trade, I have an '85 2001 that's much more suited for wakeboard than slalom. It's not in perfect condition, but some extra boot could cure that.
