So I am looking for my first real boat. I have had older fishing and ski boats but now I want a family ski boat something from the mid to late 90's with the merc 4.3 I think, 18-20 ft long with sport seating. There are so many brands of boats out there! I live in the Midwest and will be using the boat on small lakes for trips lasting probably less than the whole day. What is the best brand for the money in used boats? Bayliners, VIP, Tahoe, four winns, Mariah shabah, sea Ray, etc?
