On a 26 walk it you are not going to sleep more than 2. Most have less than 9 feet of beam and the walk takes up two feet of that. Even if you found a aft cabin it will be suitable only for a child or small person. The 2000 models will be bigger than the later models because of the whlole loa crap that goes on. If you went to an older boat I know the 1990's wellcraft costal in the 27 sized had a couch that converts to a bed. Slept 3. The problem is a lot of the older boats have wood on them and that can be a problem. Wood in the transom, wood in the stringers ect. If you want to sleep 4 you need to go bigger and find a mid cabin model that has a seperate seat for the galley that converts to a bed. I am not sure if you find that in a walk. Or a 11 foot beam that has a big aft. Now you went from spending 25 to 45k for a 26, to 50k 100k. Big jump in price. I have 2000 proline that is 27 loa. You can sleep two. I have been looking for a boat that will do what you asked for three years and have not found it yet. I think you need to go up to the 28 to 30 foot range and find an older bertram or black finn. Some older tierra's are nice to. Good luck.

thats why they call it fishing not catching
