I think I have identified some choices that fit my budget and expectations:

Tayana 37- Great selection available; and they seem to be quite nicely laid
out.
Valiant 40- Not so many out there, but what is available is very reasonably
priced.
Pacific Seacraft 34/37- Available, but expensive. Cabin layout is a bit
spare.
Ta Shing Panda 38- I really like this boat, teak decks notwithstanding. Not
many out there, but it has great appeal.

I'll be taking a close, on-board look at the Pacific Seacraft and the Tayana
tomorrow morning; here are the links to the boats: (include the "&" in the

The Panda just seems like an awfully nice boat. I wish there were one
available here...

Thoughts/opinions are certainly welcome!!
