Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - thinking of buying a 23' boat (always had minimum 27')

I am at the Weirs, right across from where the Mount docks. I had a Four Winns H230 and it was great during the weekdays, but not fun at all within a few miles of the Weirs during the weekends.

We went to a Sea-Ray 270 SLX, a big bow rider and we now enjoy the whole lake whenever we want. It uses more gas, but it can go anywhere on the lake at any time.

I guess it all comes down to where you are, when you use the boat and where you go with the boat. A good 23' boat will handle most of the lake, most of the time.

Good Luck!
