Hi Chris:

Outboards are definitely a great options as they require a bit less draft room.  Just to give you some generic specs (this varies slightly depending on the make)

Outboard
15-18 inch draft trimmed all the way up
31 inch draft down

In board
15-18 inch draft trimmed all the way up
30-34 inch draft down 

The next consideration would be the hull depth.
The new outboards are also very quite in comparison to a Seadoo.  You also mentioned a deep V hull; this leads to me suggesting a Sea Ray as they are known for their very deep hulls and wide beam.  With the wider beam and deeper hull it creates a very comfortable ride which is exactly what you want when you are cruising up and down other parts of Lake Huron.  

I have attached some specs on the 19 SPX which is available with outboard motor.  There is other great information about Sea Ray on this website as well.

Let me know if this is the right direction your are looking to go.  Pride Marine is the largest marine dealer in ontario so we have many brands to choose from but based on your comments I think we can narrow it down a couple of brands pretty quickly.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
