River City Boat Sales & Marine Services Ski Boats for Sale in Portland, OR

There are tons of options of ski boats for sale in Oregon. In Portland, ski boats represent the trill of water sports like wakeboarding, water skiing, jet skiing, parasailing, and even just a thrilling high-speed cruise across the lake.

Ski boats are known for their ability to pull skiers and produce a wake as well as their inboard motors, which are much safer for towing. Ski boats are different from speedboats only insofar as they are speedboats with a few extra pieces of equipment built in that make water skiing and other aquatic sports easier. They come with storage space for boards and skis, tow hooks to pull the skiers from, and similar water-sport-oriented amenities.

Depending on what you're looking for, different wake/ski boats offer different amenities. For a larger wake, which is good for wakeboarding or tubing, you'll want a boat with a larger build and more weight. For ski or slalom towing, lighter boats will offer you more speed and less wake.

The one thing that many people regret not considering when they go to buy a ski boat is the sound system. Not just for the guy behind the wheel either. If you are planning on doing any real wakeboarding, skiing, or tubing, you're going to want massive tower speakers on the back of your boat, so that you can hear your jams while you skim.
