Thread: pulling and pushing questions (from a fish n ski)

If it were me it wouldn't be a fish and ski, find you a pontoon with some room on the back to fish off of. They just don't make and set up a fish and ski big enuff. A walleye boat might fit the bill. Have had 2 fish and ski's and just wasn't satisfied with them.

Pontoon for sure especially with kids and coolers and grocery's.

Pontoons are nice---until it's windy like yesterday. Hard to pull into the wind on a toon. We tried it yesterday for awhile, and wound up going in. Nice going with the wind tho. They ARE kid friendly!!!!

Rees guide, the models I am considering are more of walleye styled fish'n'ski rather than bass boat. Room is one of my concerns.

Others, not interested in pontoon boat but possible a deck boat to get that open layout.

FYI, ski trips will be separate from fishing trips and most fishing trips will be solo or with one other adult.

That style boat, a version of the Deep V with a walk through windshield, is a nice choice!!!!!

I've been eyeing those for a while too.

That's what I just got for the same purposes. It's not ideal for either fishing or skiing but its a good compromise. I'm going with two 4-pole Spyderlok rigs on the bow (I have a side-by-side seat option up front) with an extra base in the middle of the bow and an extra base at the stern seat location.

Forgot to say my boat is a Ranger Reata 180VS.
