P.G.
Everything you said in your post is right on!
Based on your comments, I would definitely recommend a 24' tritoon with as much horsepower as you can afford but definitely not less than the 150 H.P. you mentioned.
I do recommend the following if you get one...
#1. Full stern enclosure. We use ours from March to November if ice allows and the stern enclosure keeps us out of the wind and much warmer.
#2. Seat covers for all seats. The best way to protect your seats is to cover them, not from the rain but the sun. The sun is what damages them. They are also quick and easy to put on if rain is expected rather than putting on the stern cover. Unless we have guests on the boat the seat covers stay on all the time. They snap in place and stay put even at W.O.T.
#3. Mooring cover for storage.
I think you are making a wise choice and will enjoy a tritoon setup!
