Unfortunately, many of the "cost is no object" boats are essentially one-shot semi-disposable race boats... and not designed for comfort or longevity.
Two friends of mine are re-building a CD 30, from a storm salvaged boat, and have gutted the boat down to a bare hull and are re-building the boat from the hull up...
However, they have the experience and the skills to do a proper job of it... Of course, they're neglecting their CD 25 ATM, being focussed on their new project.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
