NEW BOAT

Well folks, I think I have convinced the old lady to let me find a new boat. Being on the east coast of Fl., Ive recently revisited the saltwater.. ie: flats,inter coastal,etc.. So now the question. Im looking for a decent boat that can handle salt and fresh water? Thinking about a flats boat, possibly a bay boat, also noticed ranger and nitro make a saltwater "bassboat". Do you feel a bay boat would suffice as a bassboat? I love my bass fishing, probably still do that the most. The other day though I hooked a 40" Tarpon and man o man was that addicting. Looking for some personal knowledge or experiences for this. You guys will be helping a lot w/ my selection process. The reason Im looking at a saltwater boat vs. freshwater is because of the construction. Saltwater boats are designed to take the daily thrashing of the salt, fresh water boats aren't. All comments appreciated. 8)
