Maybe a larger, older Tolly. Or a houseboat.

I'm not so sure a houseboat is suitable for the New Jersey shore area
unless you stay way back in the bays and ICW. One of my more
interesting memories of Barnegat is seeing a 70 something commercial
fishing boat laying on its side after being broached and capsized in
the inlet.

Under $50K? You must not need working engines!

Oh, they can be had, Earl...

This wont bring much because 1) it's a charity auction 2) it needs a
good cleaning, and 3) the person who took the pics didn't get his
thumb out of the way.

Single screw Taiwanese trawlers in the 30 - 34 ft range can be had for
under $50k. Lot's of 70's and 80's boats with good layouts. You best
be mechanically inclined.

The definition of cruising is "working on your boat in exotic places"
or something like that.

Hey, different anchorages from home port all make a good backdrop to
workin' on the boat.
