Helpful hints for new boaters to choose a suitable watercraft
New boaters should select a multi purpose craft to meet family needs and preserve value. Inland lakes favor smaller boats under 16 feet while Lake Erie demands at least 18 feet and 55 horsepower. A 23 to 27 foot family boat with 4 to 8 cylinder engine best trolls cruises and pulls skiers. Prioritize size over frills and ensure trailer safety features for boats up to 25 feet.
