We have a 20' Smoker Craft w/ 50HP and 24" tubes. Moves along well... but groups over 4 or 5 require some serious "balancing" of the weight. Nice ride and feel on a calm evening.. but we have learned to avoid parts of the big lake on weekends. We have given more than a few "foot baths" to our guests.
I also agree w/ Fishy Cover on "Try it before you buy it"
I'm thinking about a slightly larger "trade up".... maybe a tri-hull...
(yes darlin... I know it's only two years old...
