1/2" for that size boat will be fine. Anything smaller will be a killer on the hands and 5/8 although would be great, but a slight overkill. Now for the amount.

2:1 has a holding power of 35%

3:163%

4:1 67%

5:177%

6:1 85%

7:1 91%

10:1 100%

Choose what you think you will be happy with. I have access to 1300' although I carry 800'
