I'm looking for a small boat to take my 7 year old son out on. I plan to
take
him tubing, waterskiing, and maybe some occasional fishing.


Sounds to me like the Whaler would be better.


An inflatable makes a great dive boat, or tender to a larger yacht. They
are almost impossible to tip over due to climbing in or weight distribution.
They make pretty lousy ski boats, however. I also doubt that an inflatable
that you buy now would still be serviceable in another 9 years when your son
might want to take it out on his own.
