Stewart 34 Liveaboard?

Hi there! My partner and I live in NZ and we're looking to purchase a Stewart 34 as a cruiser/liveaboard. Has any one lived on one before and has any experience with these boats?

I had a friend who lived on board a Stewart 34 for many years. I presume that it is double diagonal Kauri? As long as it doesn't leak when raining it would be no different than living aboard any other yacht of a similar size. We have been living aboard & Cruising around the South Pacific on a 32ft Lidgard for 13 years. One of the most important things for us to make life more comfortable at anchor is to have a good dodger & bimini with side clears to keep the wind & rain out. This gives us another room.
