Oli has been around boats his whole life recently spent several years working in the Mediterranean for a marine engineering business, he is a qualified water sports and powerboat instructor and with an extensive technical knowledge welcomes the opportunity to discuss your own specific plans and requirements for a new boat.
The relatively high freeboard and wide beam gives a deep secure cockpit and plenty of stability. Tough and rigid construction is achieved by utilising the buoyancy chambers as part of the structure. The resulting low weight enables the Orkney Coastliner to plane with as little as 15hp. Whether it be serious fishing or family pleasure trips, the Coastliner is the clear choice of 14 foot tenders. here
a DLR less than 180 is indicative of a really light sailboat (race boat made for planning), while a DLR greater than 300 is indicative of a heavy cruising sailboat.
The Renown is as well listed, on Boat-Specs.com, in Sloop version (see all the versions compared).
The Renown is a 31’2” (9.5m) cruising sailboat designed by John Laurent Giles (United Kingdom). She was built between 1972 and 1980 by Westerly (United Kingdom) with 273 hulls completed. The Ketch version displays a divided sail plan guarantying less effort and better balance adjustment.
i The ratio sail area to displacement is obtained by dividing the sail area by the boat's displaced volume to the power two-thirds.
i The Displacement Length Ratio (DLR) is a figure that points out the boat's weight compared to its waterline length. The DLR is obtained by dividing the boat's displacement in tons by the cube of one one-hundredth of the waterline length (in feet).
The DLR can be used to compare the relative mass of different sailboats no matter what their length: [links]

It's not the size of the boat.. It's the weight in the boat ( and the weight of the boat itself) that will affect the performance the most.. a light 14ft will be better than a heavy 12ft.. also because the 14ft will have more surface area to float the boat on plane.
Unless you have to have the extra room of a 14' boat there's not a chance that you will get it up on plane with two guys and whatever gear you might have. Most 14' boats are rated from 20-25hp. There certainly are some fairly sturdy 12' boats out there that are rated up to 15hp, that's what I'd be leaning towards in your case. Plus you can get away with the box of a truck with a 12ft boat whereas a 14' gets much harder to handle without a trailer, but it can be done.
That motor mates pretty well with a 12' jon.
Don't buy a big boat just to be disappointed when it doesn't want to get anywhere faster than trolling speed. Look at the specs for boats you are considering and make sure you're not over the transom rating (both power and weight) and in my opinion, don't go under 75% of the transom rating. more
If you want a bigger boat, I'd bite the bullet and upgrade the motor size. Just my opinion.
For example, I have a 14ft quad hauling boat nicknamed the Aquatruk.. regardless of if I use my 9.9, 15hp or a 25hp.. the loaded speed is pretty much the same (10km/h) unloaded speed is pretty close, each motor is only about 2km/h difference.
Flat Boat small size makes it fulfill the mission of taking a fisher in hard-to-reach spots, whether it is in shallow waters, rivers, bayou, or lakes. They have a shallow shaft with raised casting platform to the front and the back of the boat. Flatboats also feature a poling platform above the deck, rod holders, live wells, and built-in stowage making it unique when compared to other boats.

Flat Boats come in a variety of sizes with common lengths around 18’ (5.49 m), widths around 7’3” (2.21 m), and depths around 2’2” (.66 m).
