If by saltwater fish you mean up north in the marsh, you can't beat a Carolina skiff. Very versatile boat.
I agree with everyone else, buy used. Wait til fall/winter and start shopping then. You'd be shocked how many folks buy boats new at the start of the season, use them 2 or 3 times, get sick of paying the note cuz it's not as awesome as they thought it would be owning a boat, and you can get them CHEAP. Well, not cheap, but cheaper than new. Got my boat that way, waited for the perfect boat and got a steal. Motor didn't even have the 20 hr break in finished!
