Keep an eye out for yachts at Batemans Bay. I would suggest concentrating on yachts 26 to 30 feet. You really need standing headroom and an inboard diesel.
There are heaps of boats about that suit and in that price range. Here is a local boat, I don't know it and it has a diesel to be avoided but its an example only
