Your list covers a lot of ground insofar as the Trophy/Orca/SeaSport (deep-V) will ride VERY different than the C-Dory (flat bottom). Here's a couple important questions for you:

1. Are you content to "putt" your way to the fishing area at 15-20 MPH (flat bottom), or would you rather get an extra 30 minutes sleep and fly there at 30-35 MPH (deep-V)?

2. The flip side of this is, are you OK with a pronounced side-to-side rolling motion in a sea (deep-V), or do you need a more stable platform (flat bottom)?

So many questions ... cool

Regards.
