Thanks wingNwing.
I have a small list of features I am looking for and I seem to be falling closer to a Watkins 27. More beam, shower, etc. I'll keep looking around and getting a better feel for it. The boat, just like the location, seem to all about compromise and trade-offs.
It would certainly be hot in FL (Tampa seems to be a good spot, if I were to choose FL, due to lower hurricane risk) but I spent a summer in Wuhan, China that wasn't the most pleasant of temperatures either (and it wasn't on the water...). I would also be arriving at whatever location around July-August which would not be the coolest of times.
Minnewaska - Yes I seem to be leaning in the direction of being further south. Hurricanes and the insurance expense seem to be my main concerns. I might be able to offset the insurance expense by living on a mooring - but that would cancel out any air conditioning (which in July-August I think would be missed). A probable option is to start in a marina and pay the extra money to get my feet wet.
I figure try things now while I'm the only one I have to convince!
