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.
