I just replied to your post via private message. (should be in your inbox).

I suggest Voyager and Avalon.

Can't go wrong with Premier, Bennington, or Manitou either.

I agree on Premier being great.
don't have any experience with the others.

Get the biggest log diameter you can find.

Suntracker 24 Party Barge. It has great seating plus a front desk with two chairs and a big back deck too.

Lots of great boats out there to suit your needs... we've got a bennington fishing barge and it's a great little boat, but when we were shopping for our boat, we came very close to buying a G3 Pontoon... one of the things we really liked about it was the amount of actual floor space up front... might want to take a look at them as well.
