Usually its hard to manage more than 4 people fishing unless you are dangling bait. If you will have 4 or more frequently then indeed you will need a bigger boat 20' plus. If however your trips will usually be 2,3 or 4 people you may want to Look at the Tracker aluminums or the smoker craft aluminums. The are close to your price range, they both make a deep hull. Both boats have a bass boat type deck lay out with 4 removable chairs and places to put chairs in bow, fish finders and live wells. Both come with a decent sized primary motor an usually a electric trolling motor. Both have livewells and rod storage. When your budget permits you can add all sorts of goodies, but these boats have all the basics. It is pretty easy to add a kicker motor to either boat. Might want to go to the boat show this year they sometimes have some good show prices
