Coastal/Caribean in a center cockpit

[augiedoc]

I am one of the legion of sailors who dream of living aboard someday. I envision coastal cruising along the east coast with excursions to the caribean. I wanted the communities feedback concerning the merits of the O''Day 37, coronado 35, and the irwin 37. These all seem to be in the 40K range. Any others I should be looking at in this range?
thanks

Had an O''Day 37'' for about 5 years and was very happy with it. Sturdy, stiff, roomy and sails well. Just finished a 3 month cruise in the Carib and saw several of this model. It is an affordable 37'' and fairly well made.
