I love my 32 footer. The ease of doing everything makes up for a bit more

I like boats in that size range also, owned a 34 for many years and it
was a great boat for it's designed purpose. The few times that I took
it off shore however we got the snot beat out of us in anything over
20 kts or so.

The OP was talking about crossing oceans and living aboard, not
