I've become a big fan of the electric knife. Makes fast work, if you get practiced you get as much filet as you would with a hand-knife. Easier to get through bones.
But I like having a decent hand-knife handy. Often slad and skin them with the electric, then come back through with a hand-knife and deal with ribs, Y bones, any fine-trimming (eg trimming out the red).
I got a Berkely plug in, or 12V convertible. But it really doesn't have a whole lotta guts. Picked up a Mister Twister, and though it doesn't have the boat-side option, it's got more guts and I don't have to avoid bones or saw so much.
