If there is a boat show in your area , go to it, it will give you ideas. In your price range with a little looking and some luck you probably can find yourself a decent 16 foot package and it will likely be aluminum. Some of the brands would be Crestliner, Lund, Sylvan, Smokecraft, Starcraft, Lowe, Tracker. A few of the older ones would be Sea Nymph, Grumman, Discovery.
