There is no better advice than what Mav stated. Ride on the rough water that is the norm for lake martin and then decide if you like the boat. Pontoon boats can pretty much take any rough water but if your in the market for fiberglass you better drive it in the rough wakes to decide if you like it. Heavy and long are the two main requirements for fiberglass boats. Something to keep you in the water instead of flying over it. The 4 stroke is a little exaggerated. Quiet yes...better gas mileage....hmmmm?? The new two strokes are nice.....however if you are not going to be buying a new boat, then the new 2 stroke is probably not on a "old" boat. They just came out a year or two ago. I was fiberglass and got tired of spilling good liquor so I now ride a pontoon and not a drop is wasted. Welcome to the lake.
