Ski Boating
You should look for ski boats with a relatively flat bottom, because this creates less of a wake for skiers. Most water-skiers also want a pole close to the center of the boat and many tournament boats have a pole which to ski from. You should also find a ski boat that has an engine in the center of the boat because this will also cause less of a wake. A powerful engine will help pull the skier out of the water quicker. A ski boat needs skegs in order to keep the boat going straight, so keep an eye out for those. Skegs also help the boat when turning.
