If you can find a Westerly Pageant don't pass it up. These 23
foot-70"s-era- bilge -keel boats are amazing for their size. Many have
crossed oceans. We have a friend with one and he loves it. More room
than you can imagine including standing head room. The Pageant is a
baby sister to the more well known 26' Westerly Centaur. If you do a
search on Yacht world or on Soundings website you might just find one.
They usually can be had for around 5 grand depending on condition.
Some even have inboard diesels.

Good luck!
