I had a 17 foot Ranger R73 and it was fine for 2 anglers.

You should be fine. I would say you have many years before part availability would be an issue.

Honey Hole Outdoors with Bill Wilcox. He not only shows you what he is fishing but he shows you on a map where. Karl Kalonka is a good show and I watch most of the LakeForkGuy's videos.

I used to be a frequent shopper at BPS until I finally decided to do my purchasing at Tackle Warehouse 3 years ago. I never realized how expensive BPS was until I started comparing.

I upgraded my electronics on bow and console and purchased 2 new 10 foot Talons this year. With a couple new rods and reels and boat upgrades I would guess I am close to 8-9K so far this year but the boat should be set for a while. My wife likes to fish as well so we have upgraded some of her rods/reels also. It was my wife's idea to upgrade the boat and she proclaimed, "it is the year of the boat" so who am I to argue with her. :-)
