I don't think you mentioned the Current Design Gulfstream. I have not owned 
one, but I have a couple buddies who owned this boat and were very happy with 
it. It is very close to the description you listed below, and it has a handy 
day-hatch just behind the cockpit. Good luck in your search, I know it is 
difficult with so many great choices and so little opportunity to really get 
to know the product before you plunk down a couple $-grand.
