I'd be interested in what others might suggest. By the way I live in
the Pacific NW.
Have you looked at a Maple Leaf 42? I know you said powerboat, but
they're basically a motorsailor. Nice combination of liveaboard,
motoryacht and sailboat, and made here in the Pac NW (in BC, I believe!)
I'll second that suggestion. The Maple Leaf is both a great sailboat,
and a great powerboat, a rare combination. Beware though, a lot of them
were owner-finished, and pretty rough inside. The 100% Cooper-built
boats as nice as anything ever made.
BTW, I spend my summers on a Maple Leaf 50, one of three built.
