    The SX19 should be satisfactory for wakeboarding but are not purpose built for that use. If you want a pure wakeboarding/skiing boat then look at a Moomba/Ski Nautique/Mastercraft or Malibu.

    I also see in your info that you either have or are looking at one of these boats with a 3.0L motor. That motor wont be sufficient for pulling wakeboarders or skiiers on a 19ft boat unless you add a pair of Smart Tabs. Adding Smart Tabs though will flatten your wake out which isn't good for wakeboarding.

    Supra's are nice too. You need a mid-engine boat.

    If you are just a casual wake border it's great.. My wife wake boarded behind our sx19 all weekend.. No problems. Perhaps find a sx19 with a waketower? If you are more hard core? There was one for sale near me with one just too much coin for my tastes.
