Bigger boats can hold more people and will be more comfortable in bad weather, so that may help determine what size you need. There are lots of folks that enjoy a 14 foot Whaler with a 25 horse motor. A 17-18 foot boat will work most of the time, if you normally have up to four passengers. If its a gang of six or more, then you probably want to consider at least a 20 to 22 foot boat, and splurge for a 24 if you can. I agree with previous posters. The FourWinns line is good and Melvin Marine is a good dealer for those up in the northeast corner of the lake.
