I am a Catalina 34-36 ft fan.
It is the maximum I will get on my mooring.
Still able to sail single handed.
Maximum marina berth length available when I need it.

ticks most boxes !!
Baramectric and clock and some oil lantern 1983 SA sale like a spend amother 50k and then you can be a full livaboard in pure bar comfort.
My Adams 45
Realistic because I own it & I have set it up for me to live aboard & operate single handed.
The island bed is a must & I do like a decent fridge & freezer with enough power to run them 24/7.
A decent sound system also if you are a music lover.

Poor guitar. But love the island bed and fridge!

That fridge deserves much better beer !!
Can't Admit I I have a island bed and a fridge like you but I have nearly made her home minus 30k

40ft and a island bed! Have you looked at the island packet on yacht hub?
Yes I like it a lot.
I admire greatly what some of you have done.
Back to the Catalina. I have owned a share in one before.
I like the idea of them holding their value better than most and selling readily at the right price.
But I hope I have an open mind.
I appreciate all your input.
Start with an S&S that is currently a liveaboard boat.

For a liveaboard it has to be the Seawind 1160 or as a bare minimum the Seawind 1000XL 
Why? Because last weekend it was blowing pretty hard and my wife saw the mono next to us with a man at the helm and two ladies hanging on for dear life and she said "no way, you are not getting one of those!"
Compass Northerner 28 - we love small spaces (and each other), what can I say!
Two & a half years so far.
Cheers
Bristol
P.s. The low bills aren't bad either!

She's a nice looking hull Sands but I'm guessing add another 50k to get her up to scratch.
My 37 foot Sparkman and Stephens Tartan 37 is an ideal liveaboard for me. Can be singlehanded. Plenty of room in the cockpit for company to sit and enough room for me and crew or two.

Currently looking at an Olsen for sale that'd do nicely. Hoping to purchase in 3 months so probably gone by then but fingers crossed.

It's a buyers market !
make an offer.
don't think you can just specify one boat. It is like houses, all different, because our needs are different. I've met people living on a 26 foot yacht and happy. I suppose, what floats your boat...
Yes correct, I lived in a car for some time while traveling.
and found it all I needed.
