Boat rentals on Winnie

Hi All,

I have rented a large house for a week on the big lake this summer for a party of 15.... a mix of kids (10-17yrs) and adults.

I'm looking for a boat rental that will serve us best for the week. I'm a very experienced boater who's bringing my 19 ft bassboat (for fishing and watersports) but looking for a high person capacity boat rental for cruising, lounging and perhaps tubing. I have my NH Safe Boater certificate and I'm very comfortable navigating the big lake.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the 23 foot Tritoon from Channel Marine. I like the capacity and the three tubes.. but feel the 115 hp outboard may leave us underpowered. The other option is the 21 foot deck boat with the 190 I/O... slightly less person capacity (9 vs. 10) but perhaps a little better performance.

Any thoughts?? I've never driven a pontoon or deckboat.. but have owned various bassboats and a very nice 21 foot V8 bowrider hat carried 10 people very nicely and performed beautifully.

Any other rental suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well.

Cheers and Best Regards,

Walter
