MD requires a spotter over 12, so I'll only be in the water skiing if my
friends are with me.
Thanks for the advice.

I'd like to be doing water sports so I don't want a cruiser.

With 3 small children aboard??? Mom will be driving the boat...you'll be
in the water...who'll be watching them? It's too hot in the summer to
just stuff 'em all into the cuddy, especially wearing life jackets.

The water is a very dangerous place for small children unless at least
one parent has a close eye on 'em every second...'cuz toddlers are the
only creatures on earth that can move faster than the speed of
light--one second they're where you put 'em, the next they're out of
sight. Have you really thought this through? More and more, I'm
convinced you ought to rent a boat for a day to see what it's like
before buying anything. And take a CG Aux or US Power Squadron boating
safety course before you take your brood out on the Bay!

Just my $.02 worth...and btw...A small cruiser (24-26') is just as
capable of pulling a skier or a tube as a cuddy.
