You may find that 32' or 36' works well for you. I presently have only a 26' boat but it's an able boat offshore and I like the simplicity and don't mind the camp like accommodations. Plus I'm cheap.
The off shore thing intimidates me, and wifey more, but im sure we will get the hang of it.
We are downsizing the house, which will pay for the boat.
We are also on a budget as it has to be affordable on my pension.
