Bimini & windsheild for bad weather?

Thanks! We're leaning towards a used <$15k 21-22ft boat to get us started. We'll use it for a year and see how well it works and probably upgrade/change things up after that. I guess it does matter where we end up, if it's on the east of Bear vs the east of cow that could make a difference as far as what we need to get there.

Are pontoons (three pontoons) pretty stable in rough waters? That's an option since they're pretty large even if we can can't fully enclose them if we could cover the back and put everyone/everything in there it might give us more room.

Yes they are very stable and a great choice for your first island boat based on your budget! You can fully enclose them very easily as well and I highly recommend it. Because of their deck size, they can carry a lot of material such as furniture, groceries and whatever is needed at your island home. A very handy boat to have and I guarantee when you get another boat you will still keep the pontoon because of how handy it has become!

Good luck!
