I'd go with a 28' Sunsation. 2002-2004 to keep within your budget. Find one with shore power and a fridge maybe with AC. Stock with a 454 MPI 385 hp will top out at 62mph with 24p Bravo 1. I think Sunsation got it right with the color scheme for that vintage. Other manufactures have kinda old school color schemes for the respective model years. The cock pit is basically the same size as the 32' Dominator. I would choose the 28' over the 32' because the 28' is a single engine not a twin. It also delivers good MPG and is half the cost when it comes to winterization and tune-ups. The only down fall is where the head is located, under the V-bunk, if you spend the night and someone has to go everyone knows about it.
Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.

^LOL^ Twins are more desireable. No 28 will handle 3-5's. The bigger the boat the better to overnite on. Fountain will suck for cabin room. Sunsation a lil cramped. PQ gets my vote.

For the requirements you stated, I'd vote PQ also. Good build and roomy.
Different requirements....different recommendation
