i mentioned this boat in another thread before, but have you considered the Freya 39? One of the prettiest boats on the water (Canoe stern), US built. They tend to run $45 to $75K! Long fin keel with Skeg protected rudder. Quite a few were owner completed from a partially factory constructed starting point. Here's an example ready to go:

Another option is the CT 44 built in Taiwan by Ta Chaio. Canoe stern by Yves Marie Tanton. This hull really is shaped like a canoe! Fast boat. Probably the most favorite boat I ever had (well maybe other than my catamaran!) They have some typical early Taiwan building problems, but nothing like the Formosa boats....and built like a tank. Really nice interior design.
