It would help to define the problem better. Are you planning to day
hop down to Ecuador and then moor the boat until you run aground on
your discarded mutton bones or what? What kind of living are you
happy with? Would you agree with Capt'n Nat that the only time a man
needs to stand up in his boat is when he puts his pants on or do you
need room below for a little tai chi? Right now all I can really
figure is that you are feeling poor (welcome to the club) and that you
like the water (don't we all). With only that as a starting point I
bet most folks will say "the 'wisest' choice is a boat like mine".
That can be amusing, particularly as some people will editorialize
extravagantly, but isn't likely to get answers really focused on your
particular needs.
