Recommend a Boat for the Northshore

I am looking for a Fish/Ski boat for the Covington/Mandeville/Madisonville area. I have a budget of 25-30k.
I want to fish and teach the boys kneeboard and Wakeboard so it needs to be a bit flexible in what I can do with it.

I pull my kids on the kneeboard behind my bay boat. In fact I've always skied behind fishing boats. Stick with a fishing boat and you'll be happy.

When you compromise, nobody wins. Buy the boat for what it will be used for 90% of the time. If you think it'll primarily be a ski boat, get a ski boat and make it work for fishing.
If you are going to be doing more fishing out of it, you can always add a ski pole to a bass or bay boat.
I don't have a specific boat to recommend, but that's my advice.

I'm relatively happy with mine... it's a little on the small side (18') and the windshield is nice for boat riding but isn't ideal for fishing... I'm looking to add GPS/Depth finder and it's going to be difficult to mount in a spot that is usable from bow and console.
It has a ski pole that puts the ski rope over the motor so it isn't in the way. The two back outside seats, in this picture, have pedestals so you can set them on the bow and stern.

As others have said, this compromise sucks. Spend 15K on an old nautique for skiing and $10K on a used bay boat for fishing.

What size boat are you looking for and how much fishing or skiing will be done?
