Living aboard full time/Crossing Pacific

[100k budget]

My longtime friend and I, currently residing in Scottsdale Arizona have adamantly decided on a one year goal to buy a boat and live off the coast of San Diego. Silly I know. Not only do we plan on living in this boat but it must be capable of crossing the Pacific. The both of us are mechanically inclined currently make our living as drivability technicians at a Ford dealership. Although cars and boats aren't exactly the same animal, we aren't scared of a small time project. To the point though we are looking for a monohull powered sailboat cruiser capable of the above. Our budget on the purchase of a boat would be 100k including repairs. Without experience it's hard to know where to begin our search. What brands?Any input is very much appreciated.
