Motor Head....

[fishinkid2010]

One you might consider is a Boston Whaler Montauk 170, or my personal choice would be something like a Ranger Bay and Bass, or a similar center console Parker.
Honestly, what will be more important than brand is your motors; both trolling and outboard. Go with a 4 stroke, don't even look at 2 strokes if you want it for both fresh and salt. Being in Kalifornia we have to deal with lakes that do not allow 2 strokes. (DVL comes to mind) also a trolling motor is a must if you plan to do any bass fishing. Minn Kota's are my favorite, but the boat we fish tournaments in has a Motorguide and it runs great too. Get one made for salt water so that you don't have to deal with corrosion issues.

Good luck with your purchase and post pictures after you buy it!
