You may get some good insight on the possible choices but what might drive your decision more than anything could be availability.

Hahahaha! You're definitely right about availability.
OP, if I were planning to be out with two families as the norm (assuming 4 adults, 4 kids) doing "sports stuff" (tubing, skiing, going places) I would absolutely look for bigger size and motor. 24', as 22' is usually not an actual 2' increase, and definitely 150+. I would also look bigger if using it on the south side of the lake.
I've got a 20' Harris tritoon w/the highest option sports package and 150 Mercury, and won't take it south of The Graveyard in even moderate chop with 8 people.
If you'll only be cruising and floating within short distance of "home," the 20' with 115hp would be ok.
The above changes a bit when timing and location are taken into account. For example, we're in Hanson Cove most of the summer, so we can choose to go out, and anywhere, whenever works for us. If we were tied to a schedule, however, we'd be much more limited.
Feel free to ask away!
