You could narrow down the field by deciding if you really need blue water capable long range or not. The long range blue water boats will be more expensive and there will be less choice. The majority of well found power boats in your stated size range can do the east coast and islands provided diligent weather tracking. The next choice to make is cruising speed desired and that will further point you in the right direction. If you want to have the option of faster than hull speed you will be looking at SD or planning hulls. The next choice you have to make is how much cottage you need on your hull. Does the admiral need all the comforts of home and lots of interior volume and storage? If the answer is yes you need a bigger bulkier boat and there are many such boats available since the market for the last several years has catered to retired couples who want a traveling cottage on the water. Good luck and enjoy your search.
