Price would be 10-25k, but if there is something not too far beyond that price I would consider the idea.
Tubing and wakeboarding are the only other activities I do on the water. They are there to entertain bad water or kids when on open water.
3-6 passengers plus a cooler, portable grill and gear are my open water cargos.
Doesn't have to be a nautique, just have experience with the 2017 model and its a really nice boat. The Club just upgraded to a 2021 Nauique. Going to get to ski on it this weekend for my first time.
Mostly want a better wake when the boat is loaded for the day on open water, and at slower speeds, often open water is to rough to ski at full speed for me, the Brendella wake is bad when weighted down and moving 28mph ish on medium choppy water.
