Boats & Boating

I would like buy my first boat, and I don't know a thing about boatting, I don't even know how to fish! :)
I went to my local Mariner here in TN and the sales person told me that if I want to have my wife and 3 kids, and to pull one adult skier I would need to buy a 18 footer with 190 HP 4.3 engine V6 or I would not have enought power to do the job.
Is it true or is he just trying to sell me his $15,000 boat?!
I would like to spend up to $10,000 can you guys give me so ideas about it?!
Thanks in advance for your answer!

I am looking at purchasing a boat that weighs 3400 lbs without people and other things figured in. I plan on putting on a ATF Cooler and a Class 2 hitch. Will it have a problem pulling up a ramp out of the water?

How can one tell when they go to buy a boat that has been used in salt water that they should buy it in the first place? Esp. when you want to only use it in fresh? Is that a chance worth taking. I am looking at a Sea Ray 220 Sundeck that is a 2005 so not an old boat at least...

It is a 1974 Bayliner Saratoga cabin cruiser. 24feet 6 inches long. We bought it about 4 years ago and love it. When we bought it her name is Lu Jac.

This spring I am going to re-paint it to match my truck and want a new name to "christen her" as ours
