We are new on the Lake and this is our first boat of this size. I started thinking about 19 feet and after reading this forum I moved up to thinking 22 feet and then it became 24 feet. I have gone through the 2 itis thing without ever buying so I guess that is a good thing.
We have alot to learn about the Lake but this should be a great summer for us.

Good for you...exploring the lake, and all it has to offer, will be something I'm sure will bring you many many hours of great fun.
My advice, and I'm sure most will agree, is get a good chart, and spend some time with it each night before you head out, planning your course. Lake Winni is funny...you could swear you're in open water...no land anywhere near by, and come upon a rock shoal instantly.
Although the lake can be great fun, it can very unforgiving to someone not familiar with it.
Even if you are running with a GPS, I still strongly recommend a chart.
Also...ask a lot of questions...people are often quick to disclose their own favorite little spot to drop anchor, and swim/read/nap/lunch...whatever. I wish you well...
By the way...for me anyway, on a weekday (and only a weekday) Johnson's Cove is a great spot.
