I had a 20' Stingray in the past. It was not a pleasant ride on busy or windy day on the lake. It got thrown around a lot and I really had to keep my speed down. I wouldn't recommend this type of boat for Lake Winni. A larger/heavier boat with a deep V and more deadrise would be a better choice. As Dave R said, you might want to consider a used Cobalt, Regal, Crownline, etc. in the 23'-25' range. I have a 26' Regal bowrider with a 24 degree deadrise at the transome and I love how it performs on the lake.
