I know you already realize that your budget is going to put you in a 30 plus year old boat but I suggest attending one of the large east coast in water shows this fall.
It was very helpful to us to be able to compare so many types of boats in a single day. It allows you to start to get a feel for things like galley up or down, fly bridge or not, pilot house vs lower helm in saloon etc.
