Mainship and Bayliner are excellent options. Grand Banks. Carver. Sabre. Hinckley.

Then any of the smaller trawler types.
I think the Grand Banks (Europa?) is where I want to get to. My wife and I got on a Mainship 35 a few weeks back in Deltaville which kind of moved this to the front burner.

I did stumble across David Pascoe's web site, and he made me very nervous about any boat that isn't "Hatteras" type price / quality, which is why I wanted to post these questions here.

What exactly are the "smaller trawler types"?
Although, my thought was, since I'm not yet retired, I will be under a schedule and will need to be back to home port at a particular time and may need to get back before the storm clouds blow in or possibly thru some heavy weather. (I have been out in the Pacific in true 85 foot seas on a much larger vessel so I am keenly aware of weather avoidance.)
