At the moment I have a 23 foot center console, but my family is growing, and we want to do some cruising in the san juans (we are based out of seattle). I was curious what other boats people might recommend? The albin 28 looks nice, but out west are marginally available, and I have my concerns that there isn't enough cabin space for cruising with two kids.
What if I were to get rid of my desire for a 12 knot cruise? What would people suggest in that 30+ foot range then?
I would like to stay under 100k after negotiations.
Thanks much
Brian

I doubt that you would be able to get a Mainship 30 / 11
for 100 k even during hard times.
It goes this way
Which is worth more 100 k in the bank or 100k boat you can play with, conversely the bank plays with your money. Who is having the most fun ?
You might consider paying a fair price remember one day you will want to sell that boat and want a fair price.
