You'll get lots of opinions on this one...
I'm partial to a big bowrider with a big engine. Always good to have the power in case you need it, (especially if you're going to be hauling lots of bodies around). Also good to have the length, weight, and power to get through the occasional rough water on this lake. Over the last 9 years I've had a 25' Cobalt and presently have a 27' Formula. Both are excellent brands with top-notch quality, (and also hefty price tags). I would also suggest trying to find a gently-used higher end brand, rather than a brand new down market brand.
I have also found it invaluable to have a great rapport with the marina where I bought the boat.
Happy to answer any specific Formula questions too...just PM me.
Good luck.
