Whats wrong with bayliner?

Bayliner is the "Kia" of the boating world. Cheap at the dealer and they depreciate fast. Most of the used ones seem to be really neglected.
 

My dad is looking for a multipurpose boat, around 20' or so.  He'd like to be able to pull tubers, skiers, and wakeboarders with it (this boat'll do fine), but also cruise in the delta (this boat wouldn't do so hot)

When you say "cruise the delta" are we talking about the Stockton, CA area? Before the Ebbtide, I inherited the old family ski boat, a 19ft Galaxy tri-hull, open bow, with a Merc I/O. I don't have any pictures of it, but this one is similar:


We moved from SoCal to NoCal in 94 for grad school and took the boat along. In the three years we lived up there we must have put 400 hours on that old boat up and down the Sacramento River and around the Delta. The "perfect" all around boat for that area, IMO, is an open bow 23ft v-hull I/O. Some of the new deck boats that run a v-hull are really nice also, although they aren't quite as nimble for picking up skiers in the river.
Here is a 23 ft Chaparral deck boat:
