OK, so, I'm looking through Craigslist and eBay for a starter/project boat.
Here is my criteria:
1 - 17' - 19'
2 - seating for 7-8 (half adults/teenagers, half little kids) (so probably a bowrider?)
3 - enough power to pull a tube (or skis if someone learns)
4 - under $400 to start (pref MUCH under. I have a little more; but want some to start resto)
5 - easy for a newb to operate
I'm seeing a lot of tri-hulls out there; but my buddy (who got me interested in boats) says they handle like dogs. (Of course he has a 21' Baja)
Someone please tell me whether it matters for my use which type I get.
