boats for tall folks?

hey everyone. been out of the loop for some time now. still wanting to buy a boat, but kind of putting it on hold as i decided to go back to get my masters degree and wait until my old dog isn't with me anymore. however, i am still looking in case i find a deal that can't be passed up.

the problem is that every boat i look at is too short inside for me. i'm 6'3" and most boats, i find, are 6'-6'2" at best. i'm definitely interested in older boats that are in good condition, but not perfect, hmmm...something from the late 60's to mid 70's would be preferable. does anyone have any recommendations for older boats that have more than 6'3" headroom?

i'd also like something that is suitable to liveaboard and has offshore capability. i won't get more specific than that for the moment.

regarding length of boat: i would like to stay somewhere between 35-40' [approximately].

thanks
