Yup.....Get at least a 16' boat.
I was a little hesitant when I purchased my 2006 Tracker Grizzly 1860, thought it would be too big but I got if for a leftover price.
The best part is you get to build a boat the way you want it. Mine has no livewell or rod box because I don't need them.
I still have it. Does what I need it to do. Built it from the ground up.
My advice to you is plan on spending a lot of money with many trips to Home Depot or Lowes.
Stainless steel hardware, angle and box aluminum, marine plywood, bilge pumps, carpet, rivets, hoses, carpet glue, fittings, wire, lugs, tie wraps, electronics, etc. all add up quick.
