Hi, I am new to boating and this forum so I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. My wife and I just purchased a lake front home and naturally we want to have a boat. Our original thought was to buy a 24' pontoon (lots of family) and a small runabout until I discovered the DeckBoat. It appears as though this would serve dual purpose with one purchase. Again being a novice boater, I have been lookig at 23' boats for starters (Used Chris Craft Sport deck 230 for instance) and would like readers opinion on size and manufacturer (as well as engine type/HP). The house comes with two docks, one of which has a boat hoist. The boat would be used primarily for crusing, but I'm sure some family members will want to go tubing and skiing. I don't want to overbuy, but I dont want to underbuy either. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ...
