IMO..answering this question is difficult without meeting the person first. I mean some people should never own a boat, its not rocket science as we know but I see it often enough to say some are just clueless, they don't know the first thing about the area they're fishing(rocks, channel, weather ect.) nor electronics. Try and get out there with people who have some time under they're belts and then decide from there what size is good for you. Consider towing, launching, fuel. Smaller is better for handling but your limited as to where you can go and how many you can fish comfortably with. I fish out of a center console great for fishing but you have to like the elements, if your taking the family out not the best choice. Use the search
