Im in the market for a saltwater boat. What in your opinions is the best al around boat. mainly bay fishing... possibly something to go further out also?

Bay boat?

What are your needs? Skinny water? High speed?

I've been looking at bay boats but dunno about the length I want and size of motor. What big enough to possibly go out a couple miles?

Personally I'd go at least 20'. I've got a 24' in case I ever decide to go offshore.

Where do you fish? Down in deep south Texas I run a very shallow draft tunnel boat Shallow Sport Boats 21' Sport. If I was to move up the coast I would get one of their 24' Mod Vee boats.
