Hey guys,
I am toying with the idea of selling the boat and upgrading to a 98 speedster in PERFECT condition... My question is, can the 98 speedster (Twin engine) handle a wakeboarder ? Im not to concerned about wake size and all but just would it be strong enough to pull a 200lb boarder?
What are you thoughts...

Keep my complete rebuilt Sportster single engine or upgrade 2 yrs to a 98 with 2 engines and 2 more real seats... Im listing my boat tomorrow after I get some new pictures taken!
 
I used to have a Bayliner Jazz, pretty cool boat, any who I used to attempt to pull a wake boarder and the person actually pulled my boat when he pulled on the rope. I have a Speedster and have not tried a boarder but the tube seems to pull great.

How much is the speedster you are looking at?

No prob. Even boarding at altitude up in Big Bear (7500ft). Actually I am one of the faster boats up there.

'98 Speedster = 220hp against what, 1700lbs? 2300lbs loaded out? Mine is more than enough boat for a boarder, as proven many times.

McKinney, huh? Small world. I have some friends in McKinney.
