The bigger the better, in most cases. Fishing style has a lot to do with the choice as well. As previously mentioned. If you're slinging crank baits with 7' plus rods a 17' boat is all but to small for two. The newer bass boat lay outs have huge casting decks that can accommodate two guy's easily. But those two guy's need to be familiar with each others style. Two on the front deck is a dance that requires the right partner. I have an older 19' Norris Craft that I have fished 3 in. It has an old school layout. Small casting decks and a big floor. I'm 6'3" and can lay down in the floor of the boat. The guy in the middle has to cast overhand, but it works. I'd vote 19' at an absolute minimum if we're talking bass boats used for bass fishing.
