Jeff, you added the vintage Pearsons, but left off the same period Bristols - same construction, same hull shape, same guys designed them (Alberg, Alden, Herreshoff , Hood). Coincidence? I think not!! The same guys built them. Clint and Everett sold Pearson to Grumman in the 60's and started Bristol Marine.
You can find a nice "first generation" Bristol 30 or 32 in that price range as well (and built by the Pearsons, not Grumman) - I know where a very nice B30 is for sail at well under $10K.
