Hi,

We have been cruising for the last few years on a 40ft Jeanneau and loving it, but looking for something with a bit more space that we could go for extended multi year cruising on.

Budget is $250-$300k USD including outfitting as detailed below. We are based in Vancouver but happy to look at boats between here and Mexico.

I am doing my own research but a bit overwhelmed, and hoping to narrow it down to some specific brands and designs.

Thanks in advance!

Criteria as follows:

* Stern master cabin
* Modern transom design i.e. easy boarding from the back
* Modernish interior - dedicated shower etc
* 2 (or 3 cabin)
* 2 heads
* Reliable low hours engine
* Able to cruise comfortably at 6kts

Items that we want to be included, that could be added afterwards (but still count towards budget).

* Sufficient solar
* Lithium batteries
* Washing machine
* Water maker
* Stern arch w davits
* Modern(ish) instruments
