You need to figure out what your general purpose of the boat will be and go from there. Had boats for over 30 years. I would definitely not buy a boat under 18'. A good all round boat will be deep V and 23' or better.

Never had a tri-toon, although I've been on a few pontoons and they are pretty rough riding on windy days.

Beware of salesman telling you the boat is a deep V. The front of the hull is V but you need to look under the transom. If it is a V configuration of 24 degrees or more, than it is a true deep V.

Good luck in finding the boat you need.
