Budget max to buy is low $100k's. Annual budget would be in the
neighborhood of $25-30k.

Annual budget of 30K for a power boat isn't much unless you plan on not

Or get a boat that is fuel efficient (ie not a speedboat)
From what I have read, and talking to a lot of different
cruiser in both power & sail bost, there isn't a whole lot
of difference in the cost of cruising (unless you are
burning fuel to make ten tons of boat & furniture plane).
