Newbie to this site and am looking for recommendations for an aluminum boat.
Interested in a 19-22' boat to fish/crab and cruise around San Juan Islands w/ occasional trips to Victoria, BC and Tofino in good weather. Boat would be moored on San Juan Island year round. I have two young boys so safety and ride quality are important, this boat would be used year round and would be kept for the long term. Brands I am looking at include: Hewes, North River and Pacific. The Pacifics are the most appealing to me as they seem to be the most rugged.
Interested in opinions on these brands and any others I should be considering. Thanks!
What boat to buy?

Pacific - 2175 Supertop
Hewes - Sea Runner
North River - Seahawk
Haven't determined the size for the Hewes or North River, concerned these are more inland boats and wouldn't be the best boat for a trip to Tofino.
