starcraft Islander is a perfect match. most of newer models are I/O, but the older ones were<br />OB's. now to find a cheap used one somewhere :)

Depending on how much coin you want to drop, my choice is a Wooldridge Deep Water... That will be my next one. I saw a used one out last year for sale and didn't pull the buy trigger. Been kicking myself ever since. Wooldridge

mellowyellow:<br /><br />If you have any questions I used to sell them<br />and I also own one.. The factory is 20 minutes<br />from my place.<br />Like kev_alaska said<br />Any high quality welded alum is going to cost ya <br />though :) <br /><br />Your not in Crestliner land anymore Dorthey!<br /><br />Speaking of which check them out also. They<br />offer a lot of boat for the money. <br /><br /> http://www.almarboats.com/ <br /><br />The three high end boats listed so far<br />North river, wooldridge, and Almar are all built<br />like tanks! IE: 1/4 inch bottoms (or close)and<br />.100 - .125 sides.. if a tree or log get in the <br />way, just go over it :) BTDT many times<br /><br />If nothing else you gat some cool web sites to visit<br /><br />Link

MY<br />Thats a good looking boat... but then most of us here think almost all boats are good looking.. go figure :) looks like a crestliner.. light duty Alum hull.. but would give a nice ride in medium chop.. mine pounds everyone except the driver to a near death experience! :) <br />What brand is it ??<br /><br />Link
