Matt,
First off, their is no perfect boat that does everything perfectly. It looks like you you live in Central Nevada, so you will primarily be using it in lakes, not the ocean? That would make a huge diffierence in the type of hull I would purchase. It also make a HUGE difference in the power options I would pick. I fish offshore, Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic. We routinely fo 50-75 miles offshore. Twin Engines are a must in my opinion, outboard or inboard is a personal preference a outboard of that size runs $15,000.00, so it makes a huge difference in the price tag and annual maintenence. I have a swim platform on my boat (25’ Center Console, Twin 150 Yamaha’s, Deep V Hull) your ladder makes a huge difference on how easy/difficult it is to enter you boat, especially in choppy seas, 2-4’ with full gear on. If you’re primarily using it inland in lakes, no way would I have twin engines (unless it’s the Great Lakes). If I had to purchase another boat today that would suit my diving better, I would seriously at Cat Style Hull. Tons of deck space, tons of storage over conventional hull designs. They aren’t as pretty in my opinion, they sure are functional. Don’t rush into it and attend a couple boat shows if you can, climb all over them and see for yourself.
Hope this helps!
