Skip all of them. Get a Catalina.

Which one?

The Island.

The Island 310 with 4'4" draft is nice but too small for me.
I would like to have 3 staterooms and 2 heads or at least
2 staterooms plus a work room or utility room for my cat's
litter boxes.

What do you think about the Morgan 440 with 4'11" draft ?

A salesperson in Marina del Ray just told me that the new
Hunters (2000 or newer) are also very well built and good
for ocean crossing but they still don't have a good name
because the earlier models were not that good.
