As some of you know I have a total of about 15 hours boating experience, all on Winni. My goal of finding a piece of property by the spring isn't looking attainable so I was considering buying a cabin boat, renting a slip and spending weekends up there next year, that would give me more time to scope the lake out and figure out exactly where I want to buy as well.

I am mostly worried about maneuverability in and out of the slip and in and out of public docking. Most I have looked at are twin engine which I imagine would be easier because you can spin them on their axis other than that I have no twin engine experience

My previous experience was on a 20' bow rider.

As always, all input is greatly appreciated and thoughtfully considered.
