I have zero experience bass fishing, so I can't speak specifically to that, but I do have plenty of lake experience in general.
Immediately upon reading your post my first thought would be that my current boat, Ranger RB190 would be ideal. However they are pretty tough to find used, and probably wouldn't find one in that budget. The guy I bought mine from primarily bass fished, mostly in small local tournaments, but also fished src. One of his reasons for selling was that he was way more into bass fishing than anything else and he decided he'd rather get a full on dedicated bass boat. The reasons he listed is that the Ranger was more apt to be blown around in the wind due to higher sides than a traditional bass boat, and that the center console was in the way for casting (gear rods). I've read that before regarding CCs and bass fishing, but not sure I am totally convinced it would be an issue unless you're a die hard tournament type. Same with the wind issue. I haven't noticed any issue with that on the sound.
When I think bass fishing, and lakes in general, I think stability first and foremost. A boat that won't lean back and forth tremendously while moving around in the boat during fishing. Generally to achieve this you'd look at boats that are more flat bottomed. The downside is that a flatter bottomed boat isn't going to handle chop in the sound very well. It's going to rattle your teeth out. Naturally you wouldn't choose to head out on the sound in any sort of nasty choppy water on purpose, but it has a habit of appearing often enough even when not in the forecast that it's something to consider.
I'd think one of the modified V hull type aluminums would make a good compromise, but my current boat is the only one in that department that I have any experience with. It handles chop just fine, but is super stable on drift. Three guys on board can all be on one side of the boat without any issue or major listing. Something I really appreciate.
A boat that size with a console is obviously going to sacrifice a little room inside, it's just the nature of the beast with a console type boat. A tiller will provide a lot more interior room for sure. Personally I prefer a console for a few reasons but it really comes down to personal preference there.
Storage is something else to consider. I've owned a handful of boats in the size range you're looking at and my current boat has more storage than any of them by a large margin. I knew this was a cool feature when buying the boat but didn't realize just how nice it is until I started fishing it. Being able to have rods, gear, lunch, safety gear, rain jackets etc stored out of the way, and out of the weather is so nice. A lack of storage wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but man it's sooooo nice to have.
Personally in your budget range I wouldn't consider anything with a 2 stroke motor. Buying a used boat the motor is the most important thing. After years of having 2 strokes, the convenience and peace of mind of a newer 4 stroke is so nice. There's plenty of well kept 2 strokes out there, but IMO I wouldn't go that route. Not having to mess with oil mixing of any sort is so nice.
Aluminum is going to be lighter and generally easier to maintain than glass, and probably provides more options in the style of boat you'd be looking at. That said, I've always preferred the ride of glass in any sort of chop and I wouldn't shy away from a glass boat if the right one came along. How shallow do you need a boat to go? That's also something to consider. My Ranger will run extremely shallow, but not sure how big of a deal that is for general bass fishing in WA.
I think in a lot of ways finding a boat that would excel at both bass fishing and the sound would be a bit tough, especially if you're interested in hanging downriggers for your Salmon fishing. If that would be a plan, be sure to look at how feasible it would be to mount them on anything you look at. It could be done on my current boat, but not ideal.
I used to have the 15 Alaskan mentioned above and that boat could do an awful lot. Wasn't the most stable at drift, which I think would be a disadvantage for bass fishing, but it was a very versatile boat.
Something like the Lund mentioned above could also be a good choice.
Out of the boats I've owned, and excluding my current ride, my Triumph 170cc would check a lot of your boxes. Wouldn't be the perfect boat for each of your uses, but could do just about everything pretty well.
The hard part about finding a boat that checks the boxes you've laid out is there just isn't a ton of that style of boat in this area. They aren't terribly popular. There's a ton of super cool aluminum bay boats out there, which would probably be perfect for your needs, but finding one up here would be difficult. You'd likely have to be willing to travel somewhere to pick one up, which would add a new layer to the PIA factor of boat shopping.
Anyway, just some rambling thoughts!
