i also agree for an all around boat a center console is the way to go.i would stick to the lower hp,because your going to be in bouncing between fresh and salt,and most of the weight is the motor.and from the sound of your post,you wil be staying inshore.there are alot got good boat manufacturers out there,the price ranges very alot.there is also some that still use wood in the construction,and that,i would stay away from.
here is some things to concider befor buying a boat
what are you planning to do with the boat?family outings,fishing,just floating around?or all mentiond
what types of lakes do you want to go on,and is there a maximum hp rating on the lake,are they deep,shallow,river settings
going in salt water,how far out do you want to go,
what is the average contions out there,such as fog,currants,boat traffic,rips.weather changes
with a smaller boat sometime you have to pick and choose your days.
and how far are you traveling to get to these bodies of water
answer these will help what kind of boat you will need,and size of motor,and any extras you might need to do what you want
