Don't forget about the maintenance that goes into a boat. They always need something, trust me, I have owned boats all my life.
I have a Sea Pro SV2100cc Bay Boat. Bay Boats are really nice for a mix of water. I have fished it in the Chesapeake Bay, Potomac River, and on the Eastern shore. It has an electric motor on the front and it is okay for fresh and saltwater. It is very stable.
There is no one end all be all boat. Every boat is a compromise. It can be confusing if you aren't sure what you are looking for. Originally when I bought my bay boat I wanted a flats boat. The bay boat was a compromise because my wife wanted to be able to use it for more than just fishing. Funny thing is that the bay boat actually works well, if not better, for the water I fish. It gives me a lot of range and opportunity to fish cool places.
Look at a lot of different boats before you settle on what you want.
Consider the draft of the boat and you want to keep it skinny if you want to fish shallow water. Here is the catch, too small and it makes it sketchy on the Chesapeake Bay. Mine drafts 1 foot but it still can handle rough water.
