Yeah - I fish out of a 20' Alumacraft Trophy too. Great boat, super easy to tow. Has a 225 4-stroke Suzuki on the back. Bought it used for $25,000. It was a 10-year old boat when I bought it with 250 hours on the motor.
But I would never put 5 men on it. I've fished with 4 men on it. With all the gear and a bunch of gas, I wish I had a bigger boat with 4 big guys.
I was at a slip in Bolles Harbor right next to a new Lund Baron 23'. Only 3' difference in length but the thing looked like a monster next to mine. It had a 300 merc 4-stroke on the back and the guy said it will do 58 mph on the GPS. The boat is rated for a 350. Yes it is expensive as hell but it is a much better dedicated great lakes boat and if money is no object, there is no comparison.

I have a ranger reata 1850 with a yamaha 150 that is a great fish and ski. I usually fish 3 but you can fish 4 but it is a little crowded for my liking. There is a 20' version also that goes to 250hp. I have kids so watersports were important. I can wakeboard, and tube with 7 in the boat with no problem. I trailer everywhere and it sits low on the trailer so pulling is really nice. check out the face book page "walleye boats for sale" there is a variety boats on there so you can see many different boat makes and models. I can't say this is my last boat but i will have it for a while before moving to the 20' in a few years.

I have a 25' chriscraft that I trailer with a half ton pickup. It is 28' overall. 32' from tongue to prop. Very heavy, over 5500 lb when loaded. Not counting the trailer weight. I went from a steel roadrunner trailer to an ace aluminum. Went from 2200 lb to 1100 lb. Big, big difference. My advice is get an aluminum trailer.
