I went with a 22 ft Duck, a 95 Silverwing. The boat has a 351 in it, more then enough power. Great boat on the Columbia, takes rough water well. Also a great family boat, have towed the kids behind it, but I'd like a smaller boat to fish smaller rivers with no top to get in the way. There are a lot of good boats out there to pick from. Bigger boats are great but it depends on the fishing you plan to do. I end up fishing more by myself and 22ft is getting to be too much.
