There are smaller boats that would probably meet your needs.


I have looked at several web sites that sell boats, and I have
not seen anything much under 27 or 28 feet that looks like what
I was wanting. Almost all of these boats that are smaller than
this, are all open, and do not have anything inside to sleep
on, or eat, or have heads, or anything. If I could find something
like this, I would be happy, but I have not.



Well, either you have "large" requirements or you haven't looked hard
enough:

sailboat...but the water ballast means she doesn't have much of a keel and
is designed for trailering. Just don't raise the mast!)
