What're the limiting factors of your current boat?
Two small. I get me and three or four kids in it and we are crowded.
Its a 15 foot Lone Star with a 35 Evinrude. It will barely plain with
the kids on a tube(they are heavier than they were a few years ago!)

What extras are you
looking for?
Possibly a walkthrough windshield with room up front for people. Canvas
top. A head.
That might help better determine what alternatives to
consider.



But it raises the question of what is it you want out of the boat ABOVE the
waterline?

Room for people, beer and food!

Oh. Well.

If that's what you're in then any of the 18 foot+ bowriders would be worth
considering. And if all you're concerned about (watersport-wise) is going
tubing then something with an outboard is likewise worth considering. Going
with a wakeboard or waterskiing inboard Mastercraft might be overkill.
What're other folks on the nearby waters using? Might want to consider
going along with whatever's popular locally, if just to have good dealer
support (if you're considering a new or recent boat).

Untill you have decided on what you are going to buy.
Get some pitch taken of your prop.
If you are looking at 18' go o/b
i/b take up to much room.
