You might want to look at power cats, I see a number of brands on the market that look pretty good. Well designed, they offer stability, shallow draft, less drag so do well with smaller engines, considerably less fuel consumption, handle rough water well, lots of deck area for a given size. I see some used listings at reasonably prices.

You would need to plan on a different hoist setup, so nows the time to look into the cats.
