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!

I'm with you on this. Winnisquam and Newfound are perfect for this size, but not on Winnipesaukee. I have a 20' with a 115. A bit crowded with 2 families but doable. Pulling a tube at capacity is a bit challenging for the 115 so I wish for the 150. The boat is not rated for that HP.
