Our priority list - a moving target 19/1/11

We have been re-visiting our priority list.  Added some, removed some.

Our updated preferences are :
Length between 55-60ft.
Semi trad stern (or trad if we found the right boat).
Washing machine or space to put one.
Spay foam insulation.
Solid fuel stove and a central heating system or scope for these to be fitted.
Good ventilation - opening windows/port holes and preferably a side hatch.
Pullman dinette or at least somewhere to eat meals or write/type/sew.
Decent size water tank.
Cross bed if possible.

With movement on the canals again there's a couple of new (used) boats coming on the market.
