[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 401544, member: 13599"] welcome aboard - where are you from ?? with your boating background already established, and, you already own a few boats, you probably already have something in mind that will fit your needs. Just keep searching in your area. Personally, I have only pulled water skis with a Deep V boat. I would not pull skis with a tri-hull or MV or flat bottom Jon. IMO, 95% of boats trailer well, it just depends on your tow vehicle and of course what condition the trailer is in as well as the terrain. I guess to answer your question, I would vote for a wide body 16' Deep V hull, remote steering, shallow flat floor, and don't load it down with excess weight in a rebuild. Set it up for 4 to 6 pedestal seats: no pedestal post for zooming around having fun. Then, pedestal post seats for fishing. Again, not getting carried away on a rebuild. How often will you fish out of it [u]versus[/u] how often will you be just zooming around having fun? The younger generation can make anything work LOL The older generation would have two boats: one for fishing, another for family fun. Each would be comfortable for its intended purpose - don't mix them up. have fun - good luck [/QUOTE]
