The Fishcat Cougar is the smallest diameter that I've seen but they don't make it anymore. They still sell the Panther which a foot longer at 9'.
I was out in 20mph winds last weekend in my NFO X5 and it was very difficult even motoring around (of course I needed to go straight up wind to get where I wanted to go). I anchored with a 15pound star anchor and still go blown down wind a few feet several times with the gusts. However, I was able to catch a lot of fish and if I cast downwind, it wasn't too bad.
