We currently have a 1995 Macgregor 26S that we love. It does everything we expected it to do and has been (and probably will be for a while longer) an excellent first boat. But we do find it a bit limiting for longer trips. We'd like to have standing headroom, a pump-out head, and perhaps better cooking arrangements. A better anchor arrangement would be nice, too. It seems like we will probably have to go to something not trailerable to achieve all of those things, but I'm interested in suggestions people have for a boat that's trailerable but has the capabilities I mentioned. For clarity, by trailerable I mean "practical to keep in the driveway and launch each time it's sailed," not "physically possible to tow."
It looks like the Hunter might be pretty close to what we want. Besides that, are there other good choices? We'd be looking at used, not new. I'm pretty certain there's nothing new that would meet our requirements and be within our budget.
