As NickD stated the Tuffy 1760 is a great boat that fishes big and has a favorable interior layout for musky fishing. I've spent some time fishing out of this rig and really enjoyed it.

The Ranger 680/681 tillers are another option to consider. They are a 17ft tiller that can handle big water conditions and perfect for small lakes too. I regularly used mine on Minnetonka, Vermilion, Mille Lacs, and St Louis River Bay area and it handled the big water fine. It was also small enough to launch at poor landings on small lakes near my old home. Despite their age the hulls are solid and you still might be able to find a repowered one within your budget, ones with original engines should be well within your budget.
