Want To Buy: Monohull liveaboard 40' to 55' under 55k USD

[HighTide9000]

Hey everyone,

The wife and I are ready to take the plunge and buy ourselves a live-aboard to spend a few years exploring the world.
We're looking for a reliable and comfortable sailboat between 40 and 55 feet to get us around the Caribbean anchorages and gunkholes in the first year and then satisfy our ambitions to cross the Pacific in 2021.
Our budget is limited to around 55,000 USD / 50,000 EUR. So far I've been limiting the search to anything built from 1990. There are a bunch of ready-to-sail second-hand bavs, beneteaus and jeanneaus available around this price range, I'm just not sure if one of these are the best choice based on our needs and plans... I'm eager to hear what the community recommends/has available!
