Hi all.
I would love to purchase some good boat for costal and passage cursing. So far i am little confused on selection. In the USA they have plenty of choice, from NorSea to Babba and so on.
Question? Which of the boats available in Australia are really good sea going? Would Top Hat (if you find a really good one) is suitable for open passage, or any other available here. I am thinking of something of around 25-34 ft (don't want another mortgage on boat).

Tophats are excellent, as are Compass 28/29 and a myriad other boats.
S&S34s are at the top of your length range but are the most forgiving and rugged offshore cruiser. A good one to start with can be had for $50,000, one set up for offshore for $60,000 but a usable boat requiring work can be had for much less, say $30-40,000.
