Small boat on the big lake.

So I have owned boats for years that vary in size but they have always been 21+. After several years without a boat we ordered a new glastron GTS185 that we could tow easily to spend days on multiple lakes. We had a camp on Squam for 15+ years and loved the lake but we were thinking about a slip on Winni this year. I spent a good amount of time on winni years ago in a 205 sundowner and never had any concerns about it being to small for the lake.

My question is will I hate a small boat on winni, is it as bad as everyone says it is now on the big lake. I remember being able to find plenty of places to hide on the lake and even several to pull a skier as long as you stayed away from paugus bay/weirs on the weekend. I am only 20 min from the lake so I think after work during the week will be fine but how bad has it gotten on the weekends ?

Thanks
