First boat questions.

[cnk0014]

So between now and the spring I'll be looking into buying my first boat, preferably a bass boat. I live right near lake Hopatcong so I'll probably fish there every once in a while but never on the weekends. I will also fish some lakes the have the 10 hp limit and electric only. My main question is what size boat will be good. I want something big enough to handle LH small enough that I can get around with a trolling motor. I was thinking 16-18 v hull. Thoughts?
