Answer 1

Before you buy or even talk to a sales person, go hang out at your local boat club or dock.  Talk to the some of the people who own a sailboat.

Answer 2

Check out ebay, I know you want get a lot of specks, but you can get a good idea whats out there and for how much.  I was surprised that nice boats were available for thousands less that I had thought.
