I'm sure there are some very nice smaller cats out their but personally I wouldn't look at anything under 30' or so if you plan on spending any time at LOTO. I'd also definitely have twins for all the good reasons that Brad mentioned... Heck I even bought a small 280 Dancer for my wife with twins for that very same reasons...

There are quite a few Eliminators down at the lake that seem to work pretty well.

As for a cabin mine has one and we only use it for storage of life jackets and floaties... It's pretty large but without vents you can get pretty claustrophobic, it would work in a pinch to get out of a downpour but I'm not to sure I'd spend time down there for an overnighter.

Right now is a perfect time to check out your options there are a ton of boats available at the best prices we've ever seen. I'd take my time and do some research and if you can go on as many test rides first.

Good luck

Jim

I prefer twins too personally and if it has to carry those close to you ..go a tad bigger than I stated.. a 28 Skater with twins would be good.
You can run one in heavy seas, it just takes skill to do it.
