I've been boating for 30 years, in deep Vs, 16 -20 foot in length. My current boat is an 18' Four Winns IO...15 years old. It's a fine boat, but I'm pushing 66 and I'm finding it harder and harder for me and my friends to get into and out of, and cruising less comfortable than it was. I'm on Keuka Lake, in the Finger Lakes in NY...I'd like to be able to fit 10 people in it, take the kids tubing. 25 mph would likely be fast enough, maybe 30? We are seeing an increasing number of wakeboard boats kicking up some nice wakes.
Until I started reading some of these posts on this forum I didn't even realize pontoons came in different sizes, so any suggestions you have as to the size of my pontoons, and the pros/cons to 2 vs 3 tubes would be great. I don't have a specific budget but would like to keep it in the range of 35K. I have no idea what that buys in a new boat, or a relatively new, say 2-5 year old, boat.
I don't even know what questions to ask.
Thanks,
