Mike,
I have sailed on the 24-34-37 and 40 and have felt comfortable and safe on them all. The big questions for you should be: how big are you?Are you at all claustrophobic?What kind of sailing will you be doing?daysails,live aboard,cruising, long passages?The size of the boat determines the storage capacity of the boat food,water ,fuel etc.
The larger the boat the kinder the sea motion,hobbyhorsing,rolling,etc.
I know a couple that circumnavigated on a 31 with no major problems but they needed a watermaker because of inadequate water tankage.
I'm a fairly large person 6'2" and 250lbs and I find the 34 just a little small for me ,I bump into things.I also bump into things on our 37 but not as often.Having said all of this any one of the PS boats are solid, safe,seaworthy boats that will take you anywhere you dream of going.
Good luck,
Dianne and Chuck Burke S/V NiftyNickers C37 #139
