It does make a big difference when water skiing to have the right ski boat. Better ski boats should have small wake and have nippy maneuverability and turning capability, and having the right size ski boat is important. Some popular ski boat ranges are equipped with an inboard engine rather than outboard, and while many people ski using general purpose deck ski boats, the best are purpose built.
To single out a popular ski boat in Australia is difficult and since there are so many of them and most are great ski boats. It would be easier to single out those slightly less fabulous than the rest than to pick the best, and you can't go by price.
