Steel hull

A true collision bulkhead
Twin engines with one being able to make 7 knots
Probably 60'+
Flush deck design with bulwarks in the bow
Stabilizers of some sort
6,000 mile range at designed cruising speed

Ha....That's on my list and definitely a tough find...most boats in that size don't have the fuel capacity for 6000 NM..Not even most Nordy's and I agree with Ted...for a liveaboard ocean crossing vessel I wouldn't go smaller than 60ft.
