Default Suggestions for a low maintenace, low operating cost, seaworthy power boat 40 - 45'?

Anyone have suggestions? I subscribe to the KISS principle and have
lived, off and on for 20years on a CAL 34 sailboat. That boat has no
pressure water and no hot water and I've been perfectly happy boiling
water whenever I need hot water.

However I need more space and don't feel that I can handle a larger
sailboat by myself. I'd like to keep my purchase below $100,000, and
certainly below $150,000. The boats I've gravitated to are the
Roughwater 41 and the Gulfstar 43.

I'd be interested in what others might suggest. By the way I live in
the Pacific NW.
