[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 501768, member: 31103"] I have a 14' Lund; it's the one pictured in my profile. Two guys can fish it, easily, as long as neither needs a lot of room to spread out. It is spec'd for 4 persons, but in reality, there's no way I'd do that. Little kids count the same as adults in the "max persons" spec. In your situation, I'd go for a minimum of 16'. Shape of hull? In my view, that's dependent on the type of water you fish. Shallow lakes or back waters with a lot of obstructions to maneuver around? Then perhaps a flat bottom jon boat is the way to go. Deeper lake where you're liable to get more wave action or some choppy water when it's breezy? Then I think I'd opt for a v-hull. There are plenty of times when I wish that I had a 16' boat, even when it's just me. [/QUOTE]
