I have owned 6 boats in my lifetime. You have to decide if you are going to use your boat stricly for fishing or for the famly fun outing. from my experience and I use my boat only for fishing a 16 t0 17 foot boat deep vee does a great job and you can power it with a four stroke 60 to 80 hp and they will be great on gas use you can also use e-tecs or optimax two stroke oil injectted great motors and economical on gas .If you like a bigger boat an 18 foot is still agood way to go with a 90 hp motor. NOTE ALL THIS BOATS ARE RIGGED WITH TILLER TYPES OF MOTORS. Tiller boats are great to fish due to great control for trolling and mapping structure. Look for a decent size livewell and baitwell and rod storage also some kind of sounder/gps monocrome are fairly cheap these days. Check out Reeds Sporting Gods in Minnesota they have great prices. One last thing I would definetely look for used boats with low hours on the motor and most of these boats have all the electronics allready there, You can save a ton of money versus new

Hope this help
