Hi, this is my first post so apologies if it's been done before. I'm new to boating and need some guidance on a good first boat for my family and I. I have 2 Kids aged 5 & 7 and live around Wellington Point / Manly / Cleveland in QLD.
I've written off a bow rider style boat given the lack of cover for the kids and the web reviews I've read on the boats ability to handle choppier waters. I want to be able to ski / wake board in the future but I'm a slim 115kg so have queries over engine size needed.
Budget is in the $25-30k region. So I'm looking for an all rounder that will get us to Straddie in comfort and allow for some fun family days cruising / tubing etc. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
