The problem with the alweld and most aluminum boats other then the custom made ones is they are going to crack up under the stresses of a chop and light off shore. Lunds don't crack up because they are riveted and flex a bit to compensate for the waves as does a glass boat.
Like slidellkid above said there are many good used glass boats to fit your needs. I am a blue wave classic fan, I run an older 22 foot blue wave classic with a 150 on the back, I bought it used for 12000 that's well under your budget of a new aluminum and outboard(s).
Now I know your not going to agree with me but if you could find just an older blue wave 220 classic and trailer and repower it with your twin outboards you would have a very solid rig. Now running twins may take a little work but your not afraid of that.
I understand your desire for a boat is purely utilitarian and economical, there are better options for the water you want to fish then a big aluminum.
Ooh and by the way my glass 22 foot hull only weighs 1300 lbs so no big tow vehicle is needed
