The Eagle is a great boat and could be fun to ski behind but not functional for teaching the kids. I used to ride behind my 27 which was fantastic but to turn it around to pick up a downed rider was a pain. The thought of having to do that over and over and over again while teaching would haunt me. Big boat skiing is for those who get up the first time.

I'm looking for an old school open bow ski boat. I would prefer to have a 21 footer but could go 20. Definitely want to stay away from the 18 & 19 footers. 1990s to early 2000s as I don't need all the fancy schmancy stuff. Any of the manufacturers would work for me from MasterCraft, Ski Natique, Tige, Moomba, Supra, any of the other ones that I can't think of as well.
