My father has a Lund fish and ski (not sure the exact model of the 3). He uses it mainly for fishing, but we use it for skiing at our yearly family trip to Powell. It is perfect for his needs, with him being mainly a fisherman and the boat being great as a fisherman's boat. I would rate it an 8 out of 10 as a fishing boat, and a 6/10 for skiing. It has no problems with double skiis, wakeboards, kneeboards and inflatibles. However, it had trouble pulling out big skiers on a slalom ski. We switched props which helped a lot, but it is still not the same as a dedicated ski boat. My sister, which is 5'6", 110 lbs has no problem getting up with a skinnier profesional ski. However, most of the men cannot get up on a slalom with this boat. I can barely get up using a fatter slalom ski. We have to empty the boat or if we have a couple of skiiers, move them to the front of the boat (when on other boats I have no trouble getting up with a skinier ski). I believe the motor is 225 hp. A tower would really help, but is not ideal for fishing (in my opinion).
It has a livewell, seats more than average when skiing (8 - 10), has a removeable platform on the front of the boat for standing while bassin' and where you can also insert a chair, which removes to seat about 4 on soft cushions when skiing, it has a smaller kicker on the side for trolling, but we mainly use the electric trolling motor on the front for bassin'), it looks good ( he gets a lot of compliments on it), is comfortable, etc. The speakers are small. He wishes it had headlights =). Here it is: [url "http://www.lundboats.com/1950tyee_06.html"]http://www.lundboats.com/1950tyee_06.html[/url]
