Location: MN | Much depends on your budget and preferred style of fishing. Most deep-v boats in the 17-18ft category will handle bigger water but even that's relative... are you talking Green Bay & Mille Lacs or a windy day on a 4000 acre lake. Do you only cast or also troll? If you aren't concerned about speed tillers are great for fishability and wide open design. Go with a console if you want a wheel, more speed, and generally more comfort driving. There are some excellent options out there both fiberglass and aluminum.
If you want glass, the old Ranger 600 series boats are excellent for fishing anything small to big (680t, 680c, 681t, 681vs, 690vs, 692vs). Tuffy, Skeeter, and Warrior all have some nice looking glass deep-v models as well.
I don't know much about the aluminum boats but there are some nice models out there as well. I hear lots of guys like the Crestliner Fish Hawk. I have a glass tiller but one tin boat that has caught my attention is the Alumacraft Competitor 175 tiller, looks like a great platform to chase muskies on but these are new boats so may higher priced than you'd like to spend. A similar used design to the Competitors is the Alumacraft Navigator.
Any boat is a good boat if it gets you on the water to fish
