My wife, 6yr, 4mth and I live on a catalina 27. Tight, but very managable. For a single, you'll have no problem. Get the dinette layout. It has more live aboard/usable space. We just got feed up with land life and rising prices of utilities for the house. I had a catalina 27 before and was very familiar with them. We bought ours for $6500, they could have gotten $9k easy. My live abaord moorage is $250 a month +elec. Insurance is $13 a month. we have a climate controled storage unit and use it as a pantry and closet. We only keep 1 weeks worth cloths on board at a time. Kids love it. Most of my paycheck goes into savings. We are saving to pay cash for MUCH BIGGER Boat. We get called crazy, but nothing beats the view. People pay millions for my view. The tight living is the price we pay for saving for my wifes dream boat, Catalina 42 with W/D. lol
You'll find lots of these boats in the LA area for way under 10k. I thought about buying one there and shipping it up to the NW.
