Something that might come close is the Calstar 700L. I use it to throw 2-4oz diamond jigs, as well as for Blackfishing with 10-(max)12oz sinkers. Mind you, it is not the ideal choice for the heavier sinkers, but it does a pretty good job. I do love this rod btw.

For the money you would spend on the Calstar (app: $95), you might be able to find 2 Rainshadow blanks which will fit both bills. You could also find a beater Ugle Stick blank for lik $30, use it for chunking (what is Uglier than chunking?) and get a RS for the lighter stuff. Assuming you don't want to break the bank right away.

If I were buying somethign to throw plugs and plastics from a boat, I'd probably get a Loomis L905, just because I always wanted one, and Lami CGBT841M for the chunking/livelining, although it may be too stiff for livelining.
