Wife and I in the v-berth, 3 girls (6,10,12) in the aft cabin is what I'm thinking. We're coming from a 40' sailboat. Has a re-built 1991 Perkins 6.354 and looks to be well loved.

Let me know if there's anything in particular I should look for. Bit worried about headroom as I'm 6'2" but it could be a great compact & efficient boat for the price. Love the way she looks too.
Welcome aboard. Not familiar with that particular boat but they do seem to have a good reputation. Get a good survey and have a lot of fun.
