I got 2 at academy for my 16' bass boat. They are the yellow ones, I think the call them a medium. Work great for me. And pretty inexpensive.

2-36" work well on my 17' boat and when it's blowing really hard I put both on the bow.

I have 6' for mid-ship, a 24" at the bow and a 36" at the stern. This allows a 21' pontoon to fish in high winds.

My two 46" work good for my 18ft Mako. I would guess they would work fine for your boat too.

I finally got my new boat today and was going to ask about drift socks for 24 ft boat. The 2-36" I use on my 17' will not work.
Parttime has 2- 46" on his Mako...How big or maybe 3- 46" on my bay boat??? Or maybe a set up similar to Capt's pontoon.....

I've read the topics on those and maybe it will take that.
I might borrow a friends big drift socks and my 2-36" and experiment. The socks are easier to store out of the way and hoping I can make them work.
