Ditto on the Tartan 37. It was one our first picks for a family boat
and they are nicely priced. We looked at one with a recent refit at
70K. It was just short on space, but a beautiful boat. More than a few
on the market, but good ones have had a lot of work done and owners
want some payback. Beautiful boat.

A less costly, but still wonderful boat right at the 35 foot mark is
the Pearson 35. Some had draft just over 4 feet or so.

Another favorite of mine is the Cape Dory 33, less than 5 foot draft
and a very sweet, but tough cruiser. These have held up amazingly well
over the years.
