I love the layout of my Oday 322 (1988) and I bought mine for under $25,000. There has been a lot written about the keel joint, but I have not experienced any issues with mine, and another owner has taken his to the Caribbean (alas, like you I am stuck on the Great Lakes).
Here is a nice looking O'Day 322 in Cheboygan..

For living aboard, I agree with your desire for a 34-footer or larger (my next boat will be in the 37-40 foot range I think (I love the Beneteau 373, but they are still pretty pricey).

Are there locks between Lake Erie and out the St. Lawrence Seaway? My "end of the world" plan is to sail to the warm waters of the Caribbean, but if the power grid is down, I realized the locks probably will be out of commission.
