The Four Winns was Nice boat but way too small for Winnipesaukee.
I would go with a 23-25' minimum for a bow rider after using the 19.
My tritoon is a 22' and feel that this is also the minimum for Winni as well.
If buying new go bigger than you think you need....you'll be glad you did unless you're trailering to multiple lakes...then a 19-20' is a good option.
Hurricanes offer Biminis. You are right though, anything smaller than a 22 is going to get tossed around pretty good in rough water. You really have to test ride them to see which one you feel good about.
