I think you are going to have difficulty finding a suitable powerboat
for extended/offshore cruising in that price range. There are many
very capable used sailboats for that kind of money but extended range
and offshore seaworthiness come at a steep price in trawlers.

Does Caribbean imply "extended range" or "offshore seaworthiness"?

It does to me. You've got to get there, and there are some rough
patches along the way with a long way between filling stations.
