WHere you gonna use it? Anything smaller than 21 ft on the hudson will get thrown around like a raft. If you want a boat worthy for the sound and areas like that I would go bigger than 21 ft.

what iF i get a 20-foot boat :scratchch i migHt use in in the sound but moStly on a laKe...

:Thinking:

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

On a lake anything goes. But sound and ocean gets kinda choppy the bigger the boat the less you will feel it. Also the less you will feel the wakes of the bigger boats. LOL It's the old rule, SIZE DOES MATTER :pimp: Go at least 24 foot for the sound.

:Yikes::sad2: tHat'S a lot oF money tho...

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Ink I'm just suggesting cause I know it can get choppy. If you're gonna use it on a lake most of the time and the sound every once in a while 20 should be no problem. Just kinow the sound can get choppy.

[jenniebutterfly]

they are nice, but here is where i have to plug my dad http://norvelleboats.com/ and he has sent boats as far as ny before he builds some cabin models. might be more pricey since he is a small operation, but not sure what he charges really. also you could check out proline, we used to have a center console 17' when i was a kid, and took it out at jacksonville beach and on the river all the time. it handled very well. but if things are going to get really bad where you might take it, then you would want 24' just in case.

remember, you're going to spend alot more money maintaining it than the actual boat. so calculate that before you buy. i might have a guy that can hook you up if you want.
