My general recommendation is that you get the smallest boat that will work for you, rather than the largest boat you can afford. The running costs go up with boat size, as do the maintenance costs.

I would concider it a great boat for Costal Cruising and Island Hopping.
Not sure how she would do as a Blue Water Vessel. Some other boats would be better suited foe that purpose.
