Picking My New Home

Well hello all, I have been on here reading for a few years now but this is my first post and i am going to pick a topic that gets talked about alot. Picking my new home. I am hoping for you guys to mention some new boats I have not looked at in enough detail yet so here is my wish list.
Beachable
Encloseable cockpit
Hard dodger with solar panels
all lines lead to cockpit
being able to see over the saloon deck roof
CE certified category A
No slapping (30" min it seems?)
I believe direct drive motors will be more reliable then saildrives.
yanmar diesels
no balsa core
skegged rudders
ability for 2 oversize anchors
rub rails
the davit system must lift the dingy with outboard attached
davit system with more solar panels would be nice
watermaker would be nice
I would be very interested in reading why anyone does not believe any item on my list is important I might not agree but value others opinions.

Since I know location and use matters alot Ill give it a try.
I believe we will be sunchasers following the wind where it blows I want the ability to cross oceans and stay where its warm and sunny and the rum is cheap
I dont want to rely on diesel fuel I dont want to dock.
It does seem inconvenient that you need 3 types of fuel for a liveaboard not sure if there is a way around this (diesel unleaded and propane)

So at the risk of starting two topics what boats seem to meet what I am looking for and what items will I find not that important for a serious cruiser?
