Depends on what type of water adventure you plan on. I don't see where you live....but Ski Nautique/Correct Craft/Ski Supreme are dedicated ski/board tournament boats. Not real good for beaching, drinking or whatever due to the sterndrive.

While others can be used for fishing, day tripping. etc....

Outboards are nice but the big new four strokes are major bucks.....jets, old technology but bullet proof.....I have a friend is a dealer if you are on the west coast.
