While I like my Crown 28, and feel it's "offshore-capable", my Dream
Boat is a Sceptre 43. Fast, comfortable, all the amenities (including
a wine-cellar)... Only about $300-$400K depending on options...

Since you are talking dollars I assume you are in USA. Why would anyone in
USA pay $300/400 for a boat of that size when the used market in USA is
running at a level where the prices for really nice boats are ridiculously
cheap by European standards? Ok, if money is no object but that does not
apply to most people.
