Lines: 32 At first I thought this newsgroup was only for sail boats, but then I saw the article(s) about water skiing (which I don't think you can do behind a sailboat ;-> ). I am about to purchase my first power boat and I am at a loss as to what kind to get. It will be for water skiing, fishing and just crusing. Any recomendations on the following questions would be greatly appreciated. -How big? -What type hull (tri-hull, deep vee, etc.)? -Inboard or Outboard (and what size) engine? -What drive (Jet, In and Out, V)? -Brands (Does it matter)? You can mail responses (or just experiences) directly to me. If there is suffience interest I will summarize for the net. -Thanks- -Pete- /<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>\ ^ ^ v Pete Bellas "When it is not necessary to make a decision, v ^ Citicorp TTI it is necessary to not make a decision." ^ v Santa Monica, CA Lord Faukland v ^ ^ v Path: ...!{randvax | trwrb | philabs | vortex}!ttidca!ttidcb!bellas v \<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>/
