GG - Here are a few I found in the Pacific NW. If you've already seen any of these on YachtWorld, sorry. Found them on other sites...
First one has a thread about her on this forum (
http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/...ard-diesel-twin-screw-trawler-sale-10093.html ). A very unique and stout vessel. She's only 49', but might suffice if you convert the foc'sle back to a berth area. That would give her 3 staterooms:
49ft Unique Long Range Liveaboard Trawler
This I have seen, and it must be a good one because 2 others have pointed it out as well It would make a nice weekender for my clan, but not full time liveaboard.
This 59' Gulf Commander has a thick fiberglass hull with fiberglass sheathed wood topsides. Been boathouse kept in BC, Canada by what appears to be caring and financially able owners. Has 1,400 gal fuel capacity, but not sure how that equates to overall range:

This one looks decent, but not enough staterooms. Many, many great boats have been eliminated because of only 3 states.
Converted sieners are fairly popular around here. This one is unique but looks like she'd make a very comfortable liveaboard for your clan. Only 800 gal fuel capacity, though that could be expanded:
PS3831 - Lasqueti Star Details - Pacific Boat Brokers Inc.
This one is interesting. I hate all the blue formica, but it seems to have plenty of sleeping berths despite the size. The engine room makes me very nervous. Not sure if it's the case, but things look fairly rusty and worn in there.
Here's a 4-stateroom "motoryacht" with range (2,500 US gal fuel capacity). Though with twin DD 671s, not quite as fuel efficient as you might like. But given the asking price, perhaps a re-power with newer more efficient engines might make her perfect:

I e-mailed the owner for photos.
This one we almost looked at during our search due to her design and pedigree (William Garden is my favorite designer!). But for us she was the opposite of what you're looking for as we wanted to stay under 50'. She has an interesting history and from what knowledgeable people have told me needs A LOT of work, but she's a diamond in the rough. She's also wood which is not on your list of hull materials, but is built very stoutly. Could be a gorgeous go-anywhere vessel with a refit in the $200,000 range:

This one is the best. Looks similar to another that I saw somewhere. I really like the design. Nervous about refit, but I'm going to e-mail them for more info and photos. I'll keep you posted.
If I find anymore I'll post them here. Good luck!
