Ok - seriously now. It depends what you will use it for. I have a 22 foot wakeboarding boat which is ideal for blasting around the bay, tubing, skiing, listening to music, partying and, of course, wakeboarding. It is not a great boat in which to zip over to Weirs Beach or go thru the broads unless it is fairly calm. These boats can swamp easily so you want to make sure you know what you are doing in the waves. It is also tough to dock as you are dealing with a prop and a rudder which give you little control at docking speed, go IO or outboard for better control.

Definitely go bigger, 25 foot plus, if you are going to spend entire days cruising the lake.

Tell us what you are thinking of buying and why and we'll steer you straight.
