The Ocean Alexander 39-46 series might work. Semi-displacement Ed Monk designed hulls are spacious and flexible...fairly fuel efficiency in the hull speed + range, but capable of a burst of speed when the need arises. Sort of a crossover with traditional trawler underpinnings and a more modern deckhouse design. Typically equipped with a pair of small diesels. Little or no outside teak. Spectacular interior joinery. The 42, 44, 46 have an aft cockpit. The sundeck adds outside space that greatly expands the livability factor. The OA sedans are also well built boats.
