Location: Roch NY | I also reccommend a fish/ski based on a bass boat. front and back casting decks, minimal draw- I can get into 2ft or shallower water, and enough rooom to get 7 people out on the water comfortably for a family day. I made a rod holder mount for trolling which anchors in the ski pole hole too. best part is my stow master (large size) fits perfectly in the centrer floor compartment.
90% of my time is fishing, but I dont covet a bass or walleye boat at all. triton makes a good one but a bit pricey IMHO, and nitro (like I have) has some very affordably priced ones (189, 289) and a brand new model too.
oh and if you want to go for a smallish motor, I would consider a 2 stroke DFI like optimax. it will use less gas than a 4 stroke and allow you to have better holeshot than a comparable 4 stroke. it will make a difference when you get the boat loaded down with the family on board. I wouldn't go less than a 115 or even 135 if you go the fiberglass route.
