I am contemplating this too now. My 26 Westerly was wrecked by a careless powerboater so his Insurance Co totaled out my boat. I have only cruised South Florida and the Keys living onboard for about 1 to 2 months at a time on 3 different cruises. Now I am eyeing the Bahamas and possibly beyond. I want the largest boat with shallow draft for my price range and see several of each model of 34 Tartan and 34 Irwin Citation. I had totally re done all systems on my Westerly so I feel fairly comfortable with one of these older girls. Some of the older Pearsons look too. I am going to look at as many of these models as I can and make a Pros and Cons list and just go for it.
