I have seen the 3055, and while it is a really good boat for what it is intended to do, I would not choose it to live aboard. The reason is that much of the boat only has a canvas cover, making the view out looking through canvass. The lower cabin areas are roomy for a boat in this size range but the windows are small.

If I were to choose a 30' boat for one person to live on, it would be the 2859 with Alaska bulkhead.

One person could be fairly comfortable on that boat. It has a raised pilothouse with a view, a nice cabin, head, and a nice cockpit.

The big thing is that it has large windows for a view, and enclosed cabin areas to easily heat and or cool. The raised pilothouse really adds space and being up high it allows an out of the weather place to get a 360 degree view of the surroundings.
I've looked at seveal Bayliners and it seems as though the only fuel option below 32' is gas. Is that a fact or are there just way more gas engines than diesel?

I like the 3270/3288's.
