LWinters might be a bit biased in favor of the Allied Mistress and her siblings...
But he is right, that is definitely a possible choice, and relatively reasonable in price...
However, the OP didn't specify wanting a center-cockpit boat...just one that was relatively comfortable and bluewater capable.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
