small water boat options?

I just sold my Carolina Skiff V series 16. It only had a 30HP on the back and just not enough power to keep the girlfriends two teenage daughters happy on the inner-tube. It was great for me and my Lab, but things change. The B26 is plenty big, but I need something for the fresh water behind the house.

With cash in hand, I've begun searching for a boat that I can use for close in fishing and take the girls out for the occasional spin behind the tube or ski. I know your thinking it, but I don't have the resources to take on a B20 (yet), nor have I found any Whalers that fit the budget.

Having said that, my father found a garage kept Sea Pro 180CC that has a very attractive price on it and is fully loaded. 112HP seems a little light on the HP, but it may fit the bill.

Any thoughts from the faithful?
