I have own all three 14 foot flat bottom ,16 foot bass tracker & now I own a fiberglass . The smaller waters you will be fishing the boats you are talking about is what you need . I will tell you this if later you start fishing big water & need to run a long way when it is rough you what fiberglass unless it is a v hull aluimum . I have been fishing for 35 years + so I been in boats in some bad wind . Not anymore I learn that it is better to pick the good weather days . Leave all the excitment to the young bucks . Dipnet
