Looking to purchase my first boat. I have been in many.
My main purpose is for the family (2 adults, 3 kids) to go out and have some fun. Second, fishing ( I know, priorities are all wrong huh?)
I don't want a boat so small that I would be afraid to take it out on Strawberry, etc. but don't want some beast as my first one.
I'm thinking something in the 21ft with a small cuddy to get the kids out of the wind when they are wet.
What length of a boat do you think would be optimal?
*Kids don't ski...yet. But would like power enough so that if they decide to, its available.
Any advise would be helpful.
Am considering a lot of the boats on KSL....some in the late 80s look promising. Mid 90s okay as well. Newer ones are just too dang expensive.
Thanks
