If you want that downeaster style you probably are not going to find any better deal than a Mainship.
The bespoke Maine downeasters when finished for cruising are $50K more than a Mainship for the same size. A 35' Duffy finished for cruising will run in the upper $100s whereas a Mainship Pilot 34 will run in the lower $100s for the same age boat.
Or a Back Cove 29 will also run $50K more than a similar aged Pilot 30.
But if a flybridge trawler will do, then the possibilities multiply greatly.
