Please, respect one another, try to pass on accurate information, and keep your eye on the ball.

Skiing on a private lake just to swerve through the course I would go with a 94 Prostar with EFI. Despite the speculation, I installed PP and later upgraded to Stargazer on my 95 Prostar and I get times that are perfect or within .02 through the course at 34mph. No issues with installing PP on the older boats.
My 95 rides deeper in the water but has less spray than the 94. I replaced the rudder with the winged rudder from the crappy years. That gives my 95 a very smooth wake. But again, pulling through the course on a private lake I would go with the 94 with EFI. Throw in the power slot transmission and you will be totally squared away.

I am with Bouyhead - not much difference at higher speeds....feeling the bump means your out of form and/or getting tired. So lot's of good choices out there for you.
I have a 1995 PS205 which I would not even trade for EastTX's boat ..  Boat would never turn down a tow from his boat...

The best boat for you depends on what your goals are in the course (and budget of course!). If you have joined the club just to enjoy having a place to ski and are not interested in running tournaments, any of the above suggestions with PP would be a great boat.
If, however, you are serious about getting in tournaments maybe you should be looking at a zero-off boat (2007 and up I believe). Alternatively, you can install ZBox on a Stargazer PP system as well to get a similar pull to ZO. No matter what MC you choose, at your (read: my) speed you will be dealing with a bump at longer lines. Personally I find the bump forces me to practice good form and I think has allowed me to progress faster because if I am not thinking about my form, that bump will remind me in a hurry!

Does anyone know how much it would cost to add PP? Parts and labor? That could factor into my decision making process. As for price.... I'm willing to spend up to $35k (ish). More ideally though... inside 30K

Perfect Pass is about $1400... and fairly easy DIY job.
