OK guys, still looking to get my boat, still have a little over a year before I return but, if I get the right deal I have a place to store the boat. Here is my question; Would a 19ft boat hold up in the wind and waves of the bigger lakes in Oklahoma and Texas? I plan on doing a lot of tournament fishing and I am concerned about it being a big enough boat. Do I need to forget about 19 and only look at 20+ boats? Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!
