Thanks for the insight, I appreciate it. I'm gonna go with the panfish 16 as I fish a lot of smaller bayous and waterways where the wind won't be an issue. I'm still keeping my other boat, it's just too big for some of the places we like to fish. At around 19 feet long and 7 feet wide it's hard for me to trailer it by myself and I do fish alone once in a while. It's perfect for river fishing or large lakes though. Also like it for running trot lines or jug fishing as there is lots of room to move around in the boat or bring ice chests and 5 gallon buckets.
