As some may recall, about 3 years ago I asked for suggestions here for my nephew, then in his early 20s, for a small cruiser. This resourceful young man ended up buying a Sabre 28 which he has enjoyed immensely. He has subsequently gotten married, and he and his bride want to upgrade to a larger boat which they can live aboard while they work, then cruise to the Caribbean for a couple years. Their hope is to be able to buy and outfit a boat for $75K (or less if feasible).

His initial list includes a Valiant Esprit 37, Wauquiez Pretorian 35, Tartan 37, and Morgan 38. I'd like to help him expand the list of names he/we could then look into further. I'd appreciate any suggestions for suitable cruising boats in this kind of budget range.

Thanks, Max
