My tritoon is a 22' and feel that this is also the minimum for Winni as well.

I disagree with the size restrictions mentioned. Many 23-25' boats at Winni and they are great for their purpose but can be a bear to get into any of the public docks and tougher to launch on smaller lakes with non-paved ramps. I used my 16 footer with a 40 hp for 10 years on the lake...just chose what days to launch from more protected areas and what days to stay home. I now have a 19 footer and any day I would not take that up there due to conditions is a day I wouldn't want to be on the water with any sized boat (except the Mt Washington).
If you plan to have more than a few people on board and want to tow a tube or two or water skiers...you might want to bigger boat but you don't NEED it for Winni IMHO.
