My 17ft Lund pro sport With a 115hp Johnson motors along fine on the lakes, I can pull the kids around on the tubes, has a bow mounted ipilot for trolling and with the full canopy and foam mattress we can camp with it. It’s small enough to use on most lakes and big enough to get on any lake in Alberta under pretty much any condition you’d want to fish in. Still I’d like a bit more room in the boat, with the wife and I, our two boys, our mastiff and all our gear, it seems a little cramped, and with the boys the size they are now a camping trip would be out of the question without a tent on the side. An extra 3 feet long and maybe 6-10” wider would make a big difference inside, but after having the canopy for either a sun blocker, rain shield or to turn the boat into a floating tent I don’t think I’d want a boat without it.
That 22’ boat that roper has sure seems like the cats meow.
