Smallest boat for somewhat comfy racing-cruising

[pironiero]

I wonder- what are the pest variants at the moment for racing\cruising occasionally, new or used.

requirements:

shorter=better

Easy at planing

standing headroom

enclosed toilet with shower

wheel not required

also price is important, i found it quite not smart paying 400k(price of 4 apartments in russia) for sf3300

maybe water ballast? or an option to modify it in(had anybody do that?)

i dont mind gutting and replacing most of insides to FG\carbon sandwich or something like that it for saving weight, if hull shape is right- it worth it i believe(also im curious how many ppl do that and how much weight did they managed to save?)

this is my dads boat, took 3 years to build, somewhere around 38 feet, cold molded wood+FG, whaddayathink?

28' - 30' for "somewhat comfortable".

When you get to 38' you are into "all the comforts of home" territory.

A small planing boat with a shower? Crazy. Why? Not going to happen on this planet.

Do you want to be able to shower while planing?

Mac26X.   Doesn't come stock with a shower but supposedly some owners have modified the head to include a shower.

It's not often a boat hits so many of a buyers requirements.

You can fully kit out a J/99 for a lot less than $ 400K USD

Get the sprayer with the black bottle. Heats up in the sun better.

J/120

An RM or Pogo would fit your description nicely. If you're in Europe you might actually even be able to find one on the used market.

Small?

Olson 25: you can stand up to shower in the rain. Plenty of headroom in the companionway!

Should be easy on your budget too.

Dash 34.  Move the head from the v-berth to the aft quarter, and put a shower in it - I did this in mine without the shower, but it was certainly possible.  You won't be able to stand up inside further forward than mid-cabin though.

You can get one sub-20K.

 Hunter 27 may not plane but has a shower and dirt cheap.

A location where you want to use it would help. River , lake, Sea or Ocean, Fresh or salt water, coldness of the water you go out on? Trailer boat or a morring storage  most of the time? Dock or morring bouy?
