New Pontoon Advise

As I near retirement, (June 26th, but who's countng). My wife and I just purchased a lakefront camp and are now actively looking to buy a pontoon boat. We think we have narrowed down our choices to either a Manitou or Bennington 22' with tri-toons. We have 2 boys who like to do more than read a book and enjoy the ambience of the lake like we do. This said, we would need the boat for tubing and skiing. I am unsure of the HP needed to make this happen. I have been told many times to never buy too low. Our Camp is located on Crystal Lake in Enfield and is for the most part calm. Is there anything else I should look for? We do plan to buy in NH.

We are open to any suggestions. I have tried to read through all the forums and magazines and still need help. We are not locked into anything and any advice would be welcomed.
