Just another point to ponder. Take a look at the Paceship 26 (PY26).
They are very well built come with wither a diesel or an outboard and
are one of the biggest 26 footers around while still lookinbg nce and
sailing well.

Ok, ok, I;m a little biased but My dad owned one and I have owned one
now for 5 years.
