You want to buy the last boat you'll ever buy - get a Grady White. 22' hull will handle anything the Big Lake can dish out. It will cost you a lot more than the upholstered boats beign suggested but you'll never need another one - it will last forever (may have to hang a couple of new engines on it over the next 30 years) and 20 year old Gradys still sell for 50%+ of their original price. I have the 22' Tournament (bow-rider) and love it.
