For the boats you are considering, I would say get 2 other people in the boat and position them where you feel they will be casting. Check each of the boats out and see which one works the best.
The best boat will be the one that suits your needs as well as what makes things as comfortable as possible for your clients, while staying safe and allowing enough room for all the goodies you need. Think of placement of electronics, rods, tackle storage, cooler, etc. Go in with a game plan on what to look for and what you need, then choose from there. Determine which boat has the best layout for everyone. This will save you money in the long run because you are getting a boat you know will suit the needs and last a while. I'd hate to see a guide just getting started get a boat that he/she find out it doesn't suit the needs, then they sell out for a lot less money. Money lost.
