This.
Look for a used sugar sand. The 18' Mirage could be had in a "fish n fun" version with livewell, or the "standard" version, which replaced the live well with a cooler. Not a bad boat, 2 stroke merc with 175, 210, 240, or 250 hp (depending on year) Prob is I think they closed up shop, so parts could be an issue.
I like sea doo's, but they usually have two engines and dual jets, which means dual maintenance. Just something to keep in mind.
Bayliner's aren't terrible, but a "price point" boat for sure. Lots of them running around on MN lakes around here.
Lund is another option, somewhat fishing biased, but can surely be used as a runabout as well.
