Just get something you can stand up in.
Trust me.
LOL - Very good point... I am a man who stand well above 6ft tall... I guess this is most important in the Head... ;o)
I think you will find that the Head is the one place where you will struggle to find 6 Foot (plus) headroom.......
Odds on you won't find it in the forecabin either. A Renown has good headroom in the Saloon, me is 5'11 and I don't recall any problems - but maybe depends on how much over 6 foot you are talking about......from what I read very tall folk do struggle on this with many / most boats.......also make sure you can fit the bunks!
Personally I would defo want full standing headroom (wearing shoes) over the Galley and most (if not all) the Saloon. In the Head I would swap height for elbow room (within reason).

The older British Cats are not that wide.
suggest you look at THIS
and look at the Catalac 8m and Heavenly Twins II or III They have some within or could be bargained to within your budget.

'Perfect choice for a liveaboard'
Perhaps when this has been defined we can move on to:
'Perfect choice for a car'
'Perfect choice for a woman'

Yep! Would agree with that!
However, I thought the perfect woman was a dumb nymphomaniac who lives over a pub.
I suppose a Swedish dumb nymphomaniac with her own classic Enderlein would be too much to ask.

Hey John - Thanks for the pointer - great crowd over here! Looking good for a solid Westerly Renown which is need of a bit of updating... ;o)
I've also managed to round up a bit of a crew to help me sail from buyers location to Penarth - 1 South West racing champion, one old multi-translantic crossing sea dog, and one off-shore crew... it's amazing what you find out about your family friends when you mention the possibility of buying a boat... LOL

The only sensible answer is yo actually go and look at botas youmay be able to afford, only you will know how you like the space laid out, only you will know whether you will be able to take on the upgrade/maintainance load and so on.
If it is in your price range it is an option till you have seen it and discounted it.
