Heading to the local lake on the weekends exposes you to a variety of boats. Although most boats are designed specifically to perform one task, ski and fish boats combine the features of a skiing boat and fishing boat. These multifunctional boats are built for speed to pull a water skier or wakeboarder but can also handle the gear needed for a day of fishing.
Glastron GT 205
The Glastron GT 205 is built for performance in water sports but offers the versatility for fishing. You can convert the boat from a ski boat to a fishing boat in seconds without pulling into shore.
Features such as the adjustable bucket seats, built-in stereo, automatic bilge pump, swim platform with ladder and walk-through windshield make it ideal for skiing or wakeboarding.
Special features for fishing include an aerated livewell for bait, front and rear casting decks, built-in tackle box trays, fish finder and a trolling motor mount.
Lund Sport and Fish 1950 Tyee
Lund is recognized as a leader for fishing boats, but the Lund Sport and Fish 1950 Tyee combines the fishing boat design with a ski boat. According to the Nautic Expo website, the Sport and Fish 1950 Tyee is like a family entertainment center on the water.
The built-in livewell keeps your live bait fresh and the bow trolling motor lets you access remote fishing areas, and the SportTrak system allows you to quickly adjust the position of rod holders.
The entire family can stay comfortable and relaxed on an all-day fishing trip with the built-in stereo and flip-up seats in the 19-foot boat.
