Great point.

When we first went boat shopping we where quickly looking at boats well over 40' and significantly more money than we spent. One look at my avatar photo will tell you we went in a different direction. Just because you can afford something does in no way mean you should buy it. In our case the larger, more expensive boat would have been a complete disaster. While we have entertained the thought of getting out of boating entirely recently it has nothing to do with our choice of boats.

A realistic definition of our mission made our choice clear. Your budget looks entirely realistic if your expectations are too.
