Tom...I'm sitting next to a 41.1 right now that has navigated from the St. Lawrence seaway down here to NC and is none the worse for wear. These are strong, nicely finished boats that can easily do what you want. They don't have as much space below as todays production cruisers of the same length, but I'd be a lot more comfortable at sea in a Bristol. These are all older boats now and each will be different but I've noticed that they are the type of boat that previous owners take pride in and many are well kept and suitably upgraded over time. Good hunting!
