    Please help us decide which boat to buy...

    We recently decided to buy our first family boat in which we can enjoy skiing, tubing and leisure rides. We are looking at used and intend to keep the boat for a couple of years and then trade up once we gain a little knowledge of all the details boat ownership requires. We live in Utah...
