Same boat with a gasser would be about $100K.
Top of the line wakeboats are now running $250K-$300K.  It's insane.

If you keep it in a slip, you'd likely have power there. But I don't' know anyone who would keep a 23' wake boat in a slip.
On freshwater lakes around here, EVERYBODY keeps a 23' wakeboat in a slip.  Ours is in honeycomb dry storage but that's just because the waiting list on wet slips is about 4-5 years long.

 But I agree with your overall points.  The idea of throwing out an ICE boat engine "every few years" is so ridiculous that it merits no response.

So, they bottom paint a wake boat?

A buddy of mine bought a new 23 Mastercraft in 2022 for $105K. I don't know if it's top of the line. He seemed to think so.

No, wet slips all have hoists here.

Mastercraft is a good brand.  It's what we have.  But Nautiques and others can go for almost double these days.  Also, I can't think of a single Mastercraft that would go for $100,000 today.  $140,000... maybe.  Might just be a matter of a different market.  Wakeboats are THE boats here, since there's no ocean.

I would not be an early adopter of an electric boat of any size.  Maybe a pedal boat.  Probably not.

Same here.  There are likely some advantages to electric boats, but I'll go ahead and let the technology mature for a while before I ever look into it.  Saltwater would be especially corrosive to many of the parts in an electric boat (just as it is for an ICE) but we don't have a hundred years of history to know what's likely to break, and how, in the same way we do with ICE.

We don't see Mastercraft down here much. My buddy lives in Illinois, which is where he uses it on inland lakes. Lake Michigan is far too rough for a wake boat.

My hoist, do you mean boat lift?

Yup.  Two main kinds here-- electric winch lifts, and hydro-hoists.  The former is sort of the old time standard, and the "new" hydro hoist fills and empties plastic pontoons underneath the support structure:

Logistics would be key. My preference is what I have. We can always find fuel no matter where we go.

Lots of different kinds of boats on the lakes around here, although I have no idea where that photo was taken, I just grabbed it from the net.

It has a Trump flag on it, so not likely based in Austin, Texas...

Hah!

It's probably based here.

Lots of those, as well as FJB flags (which I find to be tacky), in these parts.
