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.

Though I've only been boating on Winni for a short time, aside from your home port, you'll find yourself spending longer than you would prefer finding a spot to dock at any of the lakes 5 major ports with a boat of that length during the high season.
Regarding boat length as it relates to pilot experience, there are numerous pro's around the lake that can help with getting you more comfortable with your boat for a fee.
