I am new to boating and just got a lake house on Lake Hartwell, GA. I
am interested in a used boat, possibly a deck boat that would be good
for pulling a skier, but also comfortable enough for about 8-10 people,
and would require low maintenance. I need a primer on what features,
brands to look for. I have been advised to get something with 200
hours or less use. I was thinking of spending no more than about $23K
but would prefer less if that is attainable. Thanks for any advice.

To seat 8 you are looking at a 24 footer minimum. Trying to find a nice
one with less than 200 hours will be a real challenge. Trying to find a
boat that requires low maintenance will be impossible.

Start shopping around and see what brand and model suits your needs.
