i think we have agreed upon a fish and ski. she really likes the ski and fish boats. what model F&S do you suggest. she really wants a large read deck with a soft pad so she can lay out while i fish. give me your $0.02.

Get her a air matress to lay on.I don't know of any with a rear cushion deck?

Just kidding,but really I dont know of one with a cushion back deck though

And just remember a Fish & Ski does neither very well. I owned one years ago for a very short time before I upgraded and almost everyone I know that has bought one hates it and ends up taking a loss to dump it. I would think a dedicated fishing boat or a ski boat has a better resale too.

I have a 19' Triton F/S and really like it. It's good for the family and I still fish tournaments out of it. Remember it's not the shiny new bass boat that catches the fish it is the angler driving it!

My buddy has a Ranger Fish/Ski and let me tell you that apple fell way far from the bass boat tree. Get the bass boat if that is what you want because I guarantee you will be the one using it 99% of the time and doing 100% of the work maintaining it. Anyway, avid fishermen know that Fish/Ski= MAMMA WON"T LET YOU HAVE A BASS BOAT!!!LOL

I agree you won't be happy with the F&S. Get the bassboat ... you can ski with it. Get her a pad to lay on the back deck. Only considerations would be dual console and get a brand with lots of deck space.

Been there done that!

My dad has a Glastron F&S its an I/O and comes with a fish finder, livewell, tackle box and a troling motor its a great boat, it can get up into 3 feet of water when we were towing people behind us i barley noticed them. It has the looks of a ski boat but can easily be converted into a fishing boat. removable carpet, a pad on the back that can also be removed and stored away. google Glastron Boats and just look around at there site. ts a great boat and hasn't givin us any problems.

Either get two boats or a bassboat.

I was in the same boat about a month ago. Luckily once I showed my wife more Bass Boats she came around and now prefers those. However, I found that the Skeeter Fish and ski was the one I was going to settle for if we went that route.
The space was clearly less than a bass boat but was able to seat more and the construction seemed good from my quick look overs. The model we looked at was an sl190.

show her a few more bass boats and let her sit in them. worked for me.

Good Luck

had a fish and ski and hated it, got a bass boat now and i love it.

Fish and skis are like trying to fish out of a sail boat(big windshields) or skiing behind a row boat(lack of power).

Dude, your half way there. Good job on that, Mark Perry is correct listen to his advise.
Hold out a bit longer and get what you really want. F/S sux if you want to fish competition, I'll out run you, I'll get in skinny'er water than you in the spring, and you'll be SORRY !!!!!!

Get a big floatie and drag her behind the boat while your on the trolling motor fishing, give her a net tied to the side just in case.....

What ever you get, get BIG...

I got a bass boat and told my wife you can't pull a skier with it. Every time we go to the lake and see somebody doing it I just look at her and tell her they have no idea how dangerous that is. So far so good.........

I also let me wife read the responses from a post I made similar to this...alot of the same responses.
