Get it Wet stick to the 24 ft. limit ! One of the reasons I have not fished these torneys ; they tend to be big boat events [I have seen it happen guys will do well on one day but not be able to keep up to the bigger boats when the lake changes ] Love or hate ex P.M. Jean Cretian , one of his best was " ...if you try to please everyone you please no one ! " Been boating [salmon fishing on lake O. longer than most 1984 and every year after ] : If you are looking for numbers clearly a lot more 16 to 24 fters going to be out there . The $$ numbers to run these big boats is never going to be less . I have seen "high rollers =big boats enter just for the experience and social interaction and not get many fish .

The $$ numbers to run these big boats is never going to be less . I have seen "high rollers =big boats enter just for the experience and social interaction and not get many fish .So I have a 26 ft boat and my boat is too big???By the same argument, why not have a 20 ft length limit? I'm sure there are many more 14 - 20ft boats than above 20ft. Or better yet why not a 16 ft limit as a 24ft would have an advantage over a 16ft boat again by the same argument. Anyhow my point is what defines a big boat? I would not consider my boat big by any regard. I am sure anyone with a 24ft boat and smaller will agree to not change in order to cut the competition. But this is supposed to be a competition right?The way I look at it is there are MANY with boats bigger than 24ft, so you are cutting off much of the clientele. If you really think it is an advantage to have a bigger boat even with a rod limit then have two boat size classes, even though I personally think this is lack of competition.
Fishdawg "in all sincerity though " I will consitently outfish the "30 fters " in my 16 ft. 70 hp. & 8hp kicker al. tinny on a flat lake or a good breeze [west is best ,north the fish come with open mouths , south can get spooky real quick on the south shore as I have previosly posted on the south shore and as everyone should know east is least !] .The problem is when the wind picks up the kicker won't hold in the wind , with all the freeboard in a tinny you become at the mercy of the wind ; by the time the "30 fts " have the problem we are at the boat ramp or bailing [no fun! ]Remember guys this is the www not a pool room ! Derogetory deminuatives such as pmsl or LMFAO tarnish the image of the site .
