I love all the subjective comments, even better when you go to the US wakeboard sites...
Anyway, not wanting to get into any slagging matches with which boat is better than others, which dealer gives best service etc, I would say add the '93 to '97 Sport Nautique to your list. It has EXACTLY the same hull as the super air nautique and when weighted correctly ie a couple of fat sacs at the stern and a sac in the ski locker you will get a collosal wake. The only difference being that the engine is in the middle, better for all round handling and ease of servicing of the engine but not so good when it comes to the erganomics of the boat ie seating lots of people and hiding fat sacs.
Mastercraft do have the market cornered in the UK, in my view the prices of secondhand Mastercrafts are artificially higher than other comparible brands but MC UK do offer extremely good service, have a well stocked parts department so you are buying not just a boat but the backup also.
I bought my sport Nautique last yr after having owned a mastercraft for about 9 years. I've added a tower, perfect pass and auto ballast system and couldn't be happier. The service from TV Ski has been comparible to that received from Mastercraft so fingers crossed I don't expect anything different in the future.
Good luck with whatever you buy, any questions I am sure people will be very happy to help.
