Kayak vs. tin boat comparison

[pbb]

So I've been kayak fishing in LJ and the bays for a number of years now, first on a Stealth 12 and now on a Revo (13).


I've been thinking of getting a outboard powered skiff, not to replace the kayak fishing, but to supplement it.


As I look at my budget (small) and what is available out there, I am trying to get clearer how much boat I really need.


I know for instance that in The Baja Catch, Neil Kelly and Gene Kira recommend 14 foot aluminum boats for Sea of Cortez and 16 foot for the Pacific side.


Basically I am wonder if I am used to fishing the Pacific side in a 13 foot kayak, am I going to feel like a 13-14 foot aluminum skiff (Valco or Gregor) is too small?



I mean I expect I will feel like it limits my ability to go further out, but for fishing the LJ and Point Loma kelp is there reason to think 13-14 feet is considerably too small?
