In my, albeit limited, experience the Fisherman series boats pre-'98 were a bear on rough water with any speed. For that matter, they were a little scary on flat water with anything over about a 125. The trouble with them is that they chine walk terribly, and unless a guy really knew how to handle it, the ride could get dicey in a hurry.
I'd have to second the 1760. I know of a 1760 that just sold for a lot less than one might think. Was in really good shape, 75 tiller, and rigged. Little under $9k. I find myself wishing I'd have bought it myself. I keep debating whether to hold out for the X190 next year, or look for an Esox used to get me by another year or two...
