I bought a Crestliner CMV 1850 last year, it's a variation of the Fishhawk with lower sides, higher decks and a ton of storage. It has a huge (7 ft.) front deck and a back deck that's easily 60".

If you took a typical aluminum walleye boat and crossed it with a bass boat, took out all the wood (it's nothing but aluminum and composite), you'd have a good picture of what one looks like.

It doesn't get batted around in the wind (I run a 36 volt Minn Kota to ensure that) like boats with higher sides, and it goes just fine with a Suzuki DF140 4 stroke. A lot of them have 150s on them and they really scoot...

It's easy to launch, fairly light (the boat is around 1100 lbs. empty), has a huge (41 gallon) gas tank, a center rod locker and just fishes great.

Hard to find @ $10K, but add it to your list to look for, maybe you'll find one.
