boat choice??? fish and ski

[roadhard]

If you have a choice between the ranger reata 211 loaded or the skeeter sl210 loaded,which would be your choice. I fish more than play but need fish and ski for family time. which boat is better in high wind and rough waters. I have a 18' stratos fish and ski now with a 150 and will be up grading soon. thoughts??

I would recommend a ccenter console model (with t-top or bimini) and something with a high freeboard for the rough seas. A flared bow and good deadrise would help as well. The transom strap/lifting eyes can be used for the ski attachment points. 20-21' and a minimum 150 O/B engine.

Re: boat choice??? fish and ski

can any owners of a reata or the sl210 skeeter give me the pros and cons they have had with either. i dont expect to be taking out to high seas. just want the family safe in windy windy lake conditions. I would just like to know what you like or dislike about either model.
