Last year I ran into a guy who owned such a boat. He bought it in the Los Angeles area of sunny California and then sailed it down into Mexico's Sea of Cortez. As I remember, he used it for exploring and living aboard and may have some insights for you.
You may be able to catch up with him through his tour buisness web site:
http://www.tourbaja.comHis name is Douglas Knapp
If you catch up with him, tell him hello from Tom and tell him I love the Stiletto 27 he was gratious enough to part with and that I still hope to get the boat back down to the Baja on future sailing adventures of my own.
Regards
