[quote=davefarmer]I think you want to look for a 20' boat, Nacra 6.0, Supercat 20, Mystere 6.0 or Tornado. I've seen all of those boats for $6K or less, in serviceable condition. Reefing could be engineered on any of these three. The Nacra and T might go to weather, and do light air a bit better than the SC. The SC probably has the most buoyancy/load capacity of the 3, pretty solid construction with a well engineered/durable rudder system. The N has an 8'6" beam, the T is 10', the SC12', with attendant advantages and disadvantages of each width. I've no direct experience with the Mystere, but I think it's well regarded. It might be the most scarce, and have the least parts availablility.
Any of these boats for under $6K is gonna be 20 to 30 yrs old, and thus will need to gone over meticulously for what you want to do. Which sounds grand!
