The budget part is tough, but with luck and
shopping, particularly this time of year you might find a
Nor'sea 27, and consider a
trailer to save
dock fees and allow a bit more for the vessel. Most have a
center cockpit, and a pass through via a pipe berth has been seen. Take a look and see if you find anything nearby to take a look-see. There is also a semi-active form on yahoo, and definitely a lot of info on the web. What I am less sure about is if a vee-berth is a part of the plan, or if they are simply two cabins, main and aft, plus the
head in the main
cabin.
