Get the one that has the least draught. Cruising the Bahamas is best done in
a very shoal draught vessel.

But, before you do anthing ask yourself what is it about you that drives
your husband to drink.

Curious as to why you are limiting yourself to those two choices.

How can you be so sure of that? Have you asked him? If you were beautiful,
sexy, slim and fit, had no bad habits of your own such as cigarette smoking,
rich, a great partner in bed, never nagged, were the perfect helpmate,
understanding, kind, giving, supportive, etc., would he have any reason to
drink? What is it he's trying to escape from?

Pearsons are generally well made boats. Often those you find today have
suffered from a lack of maintenance and rather rudimentary equipment. So
like any older boat, it depends less on the boat in general and more on
the specifics of the example.

Right on the spot. Either boat would be an OK coastal cruiser .... if
in overall good
condition and well equipped. About 90% of boats for sale are not, so
it's impossible
to say which would be better. The 28-2 is fairly roomy for it's LOA
and is a newer,
better performing design. But it's still old enough that poor
maintenance could take
a heavy toll.

IIRC the P-30 was originally offered with a gas engine, which should
have been replaced
by now. If not, run away!

If you are going to be living aboard my advice would be to get the
biggest boat you can safely handle by yourself, perhaps a 33 or 34 if
you are experienced. That small amount of extra length makes a big
difference in interior space.

That said, both of the Pearsons are good boats, just a little small
for your intended purpose. Most liveaboard couples in the Bahamas are
on boats in the 40 ft range.
