Definitely consider a Mako 21 or Mako 231 made prior to 1992. 19 degrees of deadrise will serve you right in all but the worst of the worst conditions. Plus, there are plenty of them out there and considering this el crappo economy, you shouldn't have trouble finding one in good shape with newer power at a decent price. Believe me...I know..I have owned two Makos...both 1991's (hint, hint).
