I agree that you should consider at least a 24'. Even on the most perfect conditions the lake can be rough because on a perfect day implys a tremendous amount of boat traffic leading to rough water due to boats. I have been boating on Winni for around 16yrs and have seen the traffic increase expontentially. Ten years ago a 18'-20' would be ok but not now if you want to have a relaxing day with the family you should go for the 24'. What ever you end up with remember buying a boat is a very personal purchase. Make sure you test drive before you purchase that is the only way you will know how it rides.
Happy shopping!
