If I were you, I'd be looking at the Elizabethan 33, Southern Cross 35, Hallberg Rassy Rasmus 35, or the Alberg 37 (which came in yawl and sloop rigs IIRC). These are boats that are probably in your price range, and fairly seaworthy.

Not wanting a big screen plasma, but one of those little flip down things like they mount in auto's would be really cool.
Also, thanks for those models. I am not really sure of all the manufaturers out there, I like those a lot. I am mainly looking for something that will be a good blue water home for a while and that is mostly affordable.

I am on a lake, and don't get me wrong, I love the 25, and honestly, the only changes I would like to see would be for it to have an inboard rather than an outboard and a marine head rather than a portalet. I would then feel better about maybe putting it in the gulf and do some costal hopping. The size isn't really bad for now, but I am not sure I would want to spend more than a few days at a time in it.
