    Is a Procraft 170 Combo a good boat?

    I'm shopping for a good used Fish and Ski. The whole package needs to weigh less than 2300 lbs. Are some manufacturers/years prefered or better than others? Is there a better fiberglass (with walk thru windshield) Fish and Ski boat? Thanks for the Advice! Elchucko
