[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I hardily concur with Lundman. There are a lot of good boats that give you the best of both worlds. My suggestion is to find a fish/ski sports boat that suits your fancy and switch boats. I don't recommend the smaller aluminum fishing boat as a "second" boat. Why? You'll never really be pleased with it for a lot of reasons.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]You've been exposed to the big water lake fishing and I'm assuming you'll want to do more of that. Though a smaller boat can do it most of the time, the security of a larger, more stable craft will afford you a lot more security when conditions worsen which can happen rapidly on big lakes and impoundments such as Willard and Strawberry.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Also with a bigger boat designed to fish from, you'll be able to add accessories, such as kicker motors, bow mounted electrics, electronics, communications, down-riggers, etc, etc a heck of a lot easier. These ski/fish boats are designed to mount these type of accessories easier than a sleek ski boat which usually has no flat surfaces to mount to. All these add ons come with quick release, unobtrusive mounts that can easily be removed when you have the need to do the ski and sun thing with friends and family.[/size][/black][/font]
