I had friends who lived aboard a Columbia 45 for years. Loved it. They said it sailed real nice, too. But I don't think they ever thought of taking it blue water cruising. In fact, I've never heard of one being used beyond coastal cruising (that's not to say they haven't been across oceans).
A lot of liveaboard boat for the money. Hopefully someone else with experience can comment on the rest.
