Single-Hand Cruising

So I have been reading and researching trawlers with the intent of basing in the S.E., do the loop, Bahamas, etc... In researching boats, I was wondering about this forum's opinion on what size is practical for single-handed boating. Although my standard complement is two (my wife and I), this means we need to plan on managing with one at times. We are both experienced on sail boats up to about 36 feet. Since we will be living aboard, we've been considering sizes from the mid 30s into the 50's. I'd like to go as large as reasonably possible while still meeting our budget, practical for the ICW/loop and manageable for one. Thoughts? Practical experience? Thank you.
