I do know that a SJ28 is reported to have 6'2" headroom. But that is not my only consideration.
My budget has more to do with value than absolute amounts. When I buy things I like to think I can get my money out on resale. I am seeing SJ28s in 48North at about 12K. I bet I could get them for quite a bit less cash.
I am in Coos Bay Oregon. This is a big bay with both north/south and east/west ranges where you can play around real well. But of course the NW Pacific is right across the bar. It can be mild out there sometimes but of course it can be very rough. I've been out there a lot in small boats and once under sail.
Thanks,
