Since vacationing in Arkansas we’ve been thinking of getting a boat. I’ve only had Jon boats before so nothing substantial. I’d like to get a boat that I could use at Livingston the river and in the bays around Galveston. I’d like to have space for 4 adults to be comfortable or me and the wife with 3 or 4 kids to do some tubing or knee boarding. I’ve been told everything from a deck boat, fish and ski, and a center console. What kind of advise can you guys offer me on this? I can afford around 30,000 if that matters

I sold my Hurricane deck boat 2 years ago. Still kicking myself over it. Mine had a 150 Yamaha and it would pull skiers/wakeboarders/tubes like nothing even with 6-8 people and a cooler full of beer (35-40mph).
I'll own another soon.

I might go with pontoon if fresh is your main focus but for a lot of us after fishing saltwater freshwater seems boring.

Every boat I've had I want something bigger and gets even shallower.
