Re: whats a good size boat for lake michigan?
Mostly always rough here too, the 2'-3' chop which is pretty normal even throws 25' cuddy's around from my observation. [links]
Those days when it is glass are lovely. I watch my local Michigan boat launch ( its 6 blocks from my home) and there were no boats out today, the chop was a bit worse than yesterday but yesterday there was atleast 2 dozens boats out.
Was down in Chicago today also. A few boats out there, really bopping around tho. [links]
Re: whats a good size boat for lake michigan?
What is that you consider a calm day? I don't know if Lake Erie can be compared to Mich. but I feel very comfortable in my 16' closed bow MFG up to about 3 ft waves been out a few times in 4 footers too and that was no fun at all, I've been out on a glass day, you could spit in the water and it will just float around beside you all day. I've heard a bigger boat tosses and jerks you around just in a different way because rather than up and over between the waves, the bigger boat doesn't settle down between waves because your already onto the next one, I've just heard that a smaller boat depending on how close the wave action is rides better than a biger boat.
Must of been a wierd calm day, I run my 20' on lake ontario up to about 3 foot waves. so long as they aren't breaking. No worries here, perhaps it's a trim issue? Also a calm day will have it liquid smooth, an off shore wind will leave it pretty calm for quite a ways out, an off water wind will whip it up pretty ugly real quick though. I grew up on Lake Huron, and spent plenty of time on Lake St. Clair in an open aluminum 16'r as well. That said, only launch in conditions and weather predictions that you are comfortable with. more

Mastercraft NXT22 starts from around $70,860, which is reasonable considering the features that come along with this. here
It is said to resemble the old school Mastercraft boats from the late 1900s or early 2000s. Furthermore, it can be said that comfort isn’t the top priority when it comes to this boat. Otherwise, it’s as good as the rest. here
Despite the incredible features being offered, people might still find it a bit too expensive on the pocket. here
All these features can be controlled and monitored by the rider through a surf band remote on the wrist. It also features a new audio system which allows you to play music at different volumes for the tower and the cabin, simultaneously. That’s pretty convenient, right?
Mastercraft NXT22 may not please professional riders as only the driver can control ballast settings and you can never know how much ballast is in the tank as there are no gauges.The system tends to overflow as well. However, the surf tabs can be used to set the waves and wakes according to preferences. here
