I've sold my last two boats, and am looking for another. Due to economy issues I've downgraded each time, and that's fine. I'm thinking about picking up a 16ft Starcraft aluminum boat, and building the inside to my liking.

If you could start from scratch, but only had 16' to work with what would you like to see?

The last boat I musky fished out of was an 06 Tracker Pro Guide V16. 65lb Powerdrive, 50hp, and 8 hp Mercs.
I was very pleased with that boat with the exception of tackle storage. There wasn't any built in, and not many places to put it.

One other requirement is that it needs to be able to fish 3 people (me, and my boys) so I need a pretty open layout. And will probably convert any console boat to a tiller to gain some room for the whichever one of my boys is fishing in the middle. (probably have to flip coins so they don't argue)
