I fish Lake Erie out of Walnut Creek. Three years ago I purchased a 22' Hydra-Sport WA. I am now looking to upgrade. Would like a little longer and wider - fished last weekend 7/5-7/6 in 3' - 5' waves and was beat up. I live in central PA and when I make the run I want to fish. Friends recommended I move up to a Grady White or a Sportcraft. Any thoughts?
