Coastal and Inland Cruising
Jeff''s point is very good. Buying a boat that some one else has equipped for cruising is far more economical. Also buying a boat that is suitable for your purposes may be worth looking longer or paying a touch more. One criteria I used when looking was "How would I do aboard at anchor somewhere socked in by four days of rain and wind?" I have a good marriage but do not think a 32 foot boat is big enough for that kind of confinement.
We were on a tight budget too and ended up buying an older but bigger (36 ft) boat.
Good luck - Todd
