Can you give me some hints as to which popular boats have good PHRF
ratings?

It really depends on what you think is "good." When I see a thirty to 33 foot
boat with a rating below 180 or so, I can expect reasonable sailing ability on
the LIS. As for waterlines, my C&C and Pearson have nearly the same WL, but the
C&C is quite a bit faster.
