As said above bigger angry water is no fun no matter what size the boat is.
Not many parameters given.. if your looking to ease into it the older Lund deep v 16’ maybe 18’ were very basic but tough and good thick skin. A lot of them out there. Talking about 77 or so
forward.
Alumacraft built some beefy boats then as well but they tended to be narrower.
The power plant is the important part. Size it right and if buying used have it gone thru before you buy.
A 16’ deep v handled right will master about as rough a water as most people want to be in. Bigger isn’t always better.
Good luck!
