Another wannabe first-time boat owner - questions

Aguamenti · 07-16-2012, 09:15 PM

Our home is on Mirror Lake, so I could get a small bowrider or a pontoon, but I really, really want to have the option to boat on Winni as well.

I'm not an experienced pilot, so no plans to cross the Broads, though I would love the ability to put in at Nineteen Mile or Winter Harbor and cruise along the perimeter and in the calmer areas of the lake. I would regularly be carrying 7-8 people (though 4 of them are kids). I drive a small SUV that is tow-rated for only 4500 lbs.

With those limitations, do you have any thoughts about what, if anything, would work for me? Thanks for any input.
