[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 345958, member: 1523"] 4 up with a dog is going to be tight in anything smaller than a 20'er. I can do 3 if we are cat fishing but it's too tight to be slinging rods by all three fishermen. For the UP, especially around around Point of Rocks you are going to need a lighter wider setup with a forward center console or stick steer setup. Power is not nearly as important as handling. Those rocks and ledges are tough on aluminum hulls. For a first big boat I'd go used for the first year or three until you get to know the water you fish. You are going to nail rocks sooner than later so don't buy a nice shiny hull and expect it to stay that way. [/QUOTE]
