I run a tarpon 100 (sot) & the gf a ll bean 10' sit in.
we usually fish the big D & lakes (Mercer, Furnace, Carnegie, etc).
Both are different but have been great. The access to fish & new spots has been well worth it.
One of our parameters was size/weight to make them manageable & loadable on a Jeep roof rack.
If you're covering more ground or salt water I'd say look at 12' (+)
