Centre consoles and Design and Construction categories

[drownedrat]

Hi,
I am a sailor of many years considering purchasing a used centre console boat for all round family use (ski, fishing etc). Can anyone point me to a good reference source where boats may be listed against their D&C ratings? I know little about these craft and whilst would love a Boston Whaler Outrage, these are pricey and so am interested in learning what other centre consoles have good sea going characteristics.

Help and/or advice most welcome.

Yes...?

I can only assume you were suggesting a RIB. They are a poor choice for skiing and fishing, but thanks.
