Gentlemen, hope everyone had great holidays. Canvas and I enjoyed the time in Northern Wisconsin.
I am looking at a larger tender for next season. I plan to hunt Lake Superior and Lake Michigan with it. I have been searching for an aluminum hull in the 24' range for a couple months - they are hard to come by much bigger than 21'. I have a couple of leads on the brand Lone Star. They made a 24' aluminum hull with cabin. I would tear out everything down to the hull and put in a center or side console. I would also build up the sides similar to Steve's boats.
My question is on the seaworthiness of this boat. We get some weather on the great lakes and I'm worried about handling in bigger waves. Does anyone have any experience with the lone star 24?
I have been in search of a 24' starcraft, but no luck.
The attached image shows the boat on the left.

Thanks, I appreciate your time and experience.
