I'm in the market for a boat. 90% of what I do with my boat is entertaining people and pulling kids on tubes, but I love to water ski but it's not my primary function. So an actual ski boat is not realistic for me because of limited seating (unless I want to spend over $75K on some of the new crossovers - which i don't) so I've been looking at newer deck boats. What I want to know is an I/O better or and Outboard better for the water ski component of my boat use or does it matter at all. I have asked several dealers and the overwhelming common answer is that whatever boat they are trying to sell me at the time is better for water-skiing, which is not helpful at all. any light you can shed on this would be great. Thank you!
