I'd say Franco's McKee Craft 196 Marathon would be a good choice

Pathfinder is a good choice, pricey, but sounds like he can afford it. I'm not too crazy about the low freeboard though.

I'd also have him check out Maritime Skiff. IMO it would handle the snotty stuff better than a Pathfinder, supposed to be fairly dry too. They are used by a lot of guides in the NE. MS would be at the top of my short list.

Also, Andros Boat works Panga (formerly Tortuga boats) or Pangamarine.com Pangas. I'd stay away form Panga.com boats.

Parker and Steigercraft make some possibilities too.

Jones Brothers also.
