Take a look at the smokercraft line of boats. I went with their 17.5 with a Force 75 back in 97
and have been mostly pleased. Fished it out at Neah Bay, Campbell River, inside Grays Harbor, straits and every place you could think of inside Puget Sound. Works great on lakes. Multiple fishing stations. Only complaint is the electronics are not made for the salt...plan on replacing your swithes and fuse connections. Also go with the 19 foot and don't underpower it.
