The Mariah has been a lot of fun, and some great trips to Spain and France over the last few years. But my towing days through Europe are done now. Having towed caravans and boats for the last 15 years or so through Europe, the draw of packing a suitcase and jumping on a plane has become more enticing (for now anyway

The Mariah was a fantastic boat for our holidays, and a big compromise for the rest of the season on the South coast, so time to change to something perhaps more in keeping with our weather and sea conditions. Just not 100% decided what I really want, and not much out there in my price bracket right now.
Some boats I am thinking about.
Sealine S240 - they are coming in a little bit pricey for me, especially the diesels
Sealine S230 - might be a good compromise if the hull is as good as the 240.
Sealine 255 - Really like the look of these if can find a good single engine version in reasonable nick
Wellcraft 2400 - love the cockpit layout
Windy 7800 - love the retro look of these, but not sure I want a cuddy, has no fridge and 30 years old- There is a lovely looking example for sale at the moment
Needs... better seakeeping ability than the Mariah, I don't want to be thinking about heading back in or not going out in an F3
Good socialising layout in the cockpit for when at Anchor or moored up in the IOW .
Sea toilet
Fridge and the means of boiling a kettle.
My son might stay over on the boat with his friends from time to time. Not convinced I will, although if it was not a cuddy I might be tempted for a night in Yarmouth or Bembridge.
Nothing too heavy fuel and maintenance wise. My 20ft Mariah has a 4.3 mercruiser. Ok to go a bit more Juicy on the fuel but nothing too crazy.
Any suggestions/ recommendations ideas gratefully received.
Budget approx 15k
