Boston Whalers are light boats. Unless you stay in Sosua Bay or similar waters, I would not trust them.....even though they won't sink, they could flip.....
Best choice, as far as I am concerned, for a 20 foot boat would be something made of wood, like what the local fishermen use.
I am giving a serious response, even though I am not certain that the OP is searching for facts. If humor is what you are looking for, I apologize.

Lindsey,
Thanks for the input. All comments welcome humorous and serious.
Our boating activities will be restricted to the Sth Coast in and around Juan Dolio and only in calm conditions close to the shore.
We want to do a little fishing, Sat and Sun cruising with some music playing and the cold beer flowing. Bit of fun in the sun type of stuff. Nothing too serious.
However we do want some sex appeal with the boat - so perhaps a local wooden boat is not quite the Miami Vice type of look we are after.
