My New floater

[Stein]

Thanks guys I’m really excited should be great fun. I’ve been making a list on everything that I need to make it the fishing machine I want it to be.

Jburke yes it’s the 20’ . Didn’t want to get two foot ittis.  Much rather have the feeling of growing into it then growing out of it.  😉🥃

   Didn't realize two foot itis stops at 20'

The 18-20' single axle trailer setup is pretty much the top of a sweet band in boats.  Any larger and you really cross a line that gets expensive quickly:

Bigger truck needed to tow
Two more tires, wheels and sets of bearings to maintain and fail
Harder to stow - for me it would mean paying somewhere vs having it at my house
Fuel economy - I don't want to go through the thought process of whether I can afford a certain outing or not
Handling - harder to drive, launch, manage in the wind

There are certainly good things about big boats, but once you cross the line here, the costs and effort really go up.

yup!
believe me, i WANT a bigger boat, but my current 18 fter BARELY fits inside my garage...requirement of my next boat is that it does the same.  i dont want to pay for storage/store outside/build another building.

Main reason I stayed at 20'. I'll be fishing alone the majority of the time. Twenty foot is all I want to take on by myself. So once I get my system figured out it will be a breeze

Great boat! Picked up the same boat, but much older a year and a half a go. It's been a fish slaying machine on both sides of the state.

I went from 19' to 24', not a big difference for landing or  launching other than on the beach the bow is much higher off the ground on the bigger one. I love the swim step/extended transom on the bigger boat.

Surprisingly, the bigger boat is actually easier to maneuver, it rotates on center better than the shorter one making it easier to dock. However, I do spend a lot of time in my boat, 3000+ miles a year.
