From a boat handling standpoint, I think that you should be fine with the larger boats but there are other factors as well.
What will you be towing with? Can it take the weight?
What are you providing for alternate means of propulsion, an outboard or oars? Outboards are expensive and not 100% reliable(is your back?) but they are really handy.
Does going boat camping on something like a mariner appeal to you?
I have sailed the mariner a bunch and really do like the boat. It isn't the fastest boat but it is not slow and it feels good and has a nice cockpit.
