Found another one
Well I found another sailboat that meets my three criteria! It's the Watkins W32/W33 has 6'5" headroom, the W32 was made from 79 to 84 and W33 from 84 to 89. The only real difference between them is the W33 has an extra seven inches added to the foot of the transom so the top of the transom slopes inward at the top like most modern sailboats. Where as the W32 has a straight transom...

Which to Choose From
Well looking for a blue water/liveaboard sailboat that has 6'3" headroom in the galley and is under 10 meters that could meet my budget has not been easy. The budget means that the boat needs to be over 25 years old in most cases. To be sailed single handed, and low slip/foreign port fees I set the max length at 10 meters. The two above criteria make it almost impossible to meet my headroom, even on newer design of boats that is not easy.
The only candidates I have found so far are a Rawson 30, a Pearson Vanguard 32, and a CSY 33. The Vanguard is the most popular with the highest number of boats made. The Rawson fits a 30 and under slip. The CSY being the newest of the bunch has more modern hull design is also beamier, but it comes at a higher price tag.
