I would recommend a boat that will let you fish as many different ways as possible IE vertical jig, throw lures in the shallows or troll in deep water. As for motor size I would get the biggest motor the boat will handle. That way you can beat the storm off the water. I went from a 140 hp to a 150 hp years ago and my 150hp will use about half the fuel as my 140hp did. Just because you have all the motor dosen't mean you have to use it all, but boy is it good to have when you need it.
