Welcome to the forum. You are a clever and handy guy.
There aren't too many project boats listed on Yachtworld which is what you seem to want. Maybe look on Craigslist where the clunkers lie.
Also don't focus on long range, transocean capabilities. The odds are strong that you will never go any farther than the Bahamas. It takes a special trawler (in the 1 pct range) to be able to go to Australia, whereas almost any in your size can do the Bahamas safely.
Good luck with your quest.
