Looking into getting a used boat it the hopefully near future. What's everyone's one opinion on a good crappie boat? Price range is open at the moment, ideally it would be a boat that could be used for sport as well, pull a tube or wake board behind would appeal to the wife more.

Buy the Ski Nautique super air and put a long shaft 36 volt T/M on it, be sure to stay out of standing timber with this rig though.

Wake board was the wrong term... Knee board maybe. God I hate those wake boats when were fishing.

I will give two thumbs up for my Alumacraft Tournament Sport 185 with a Honda 130HP. I've got a family of 4, and we have tubed out of it many times, and is also a great boat to fish from. High sides keep the kiddos in place, and 4 pedestal seats make things comfortable.

I was finally able to find a used Lund. For me, this is the best all around style of fishing boat. I like the high sides and pedestal seat for comfort. Mine has a 150 and could pull all the skiers you want.

Used Lunds are hard to come by. I've been looking for awhile now.

How many folks will be going at one time? Load and budget are things you need to consider.

Lots of good combo fish and ski boats on Craig's list... You can fish outta most anything... Keeping momma happy, now thats a different story! There are times when I'm glad my bride doesn't like to hunt or fish, but she does like me helping out with the grocery bill...

A bass boat is hard to beat as a fishing platform. I have a Ranger 681 Fisherman that is designed to be a walleye boat and I like it fine.

I've come to the conclusion that I need 4 boats for everything that I want to do.
