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.
