Jul 29, 2009. #5. Re: best/good fish/ski boat combo. Since you are going to be using the boat on freshwater, you can get away with less boat, than a bay/ocean fish/ski boat.

Ski Supreme Boats? | Boating Forum - iboats Boating Forums
May 18, 2016 · Supreme hasn't had the best reputation until the V226 showed up as an excellent surf boat.
