Thank you all for the replies, after more spec crunching I am realizing that combined with being new, the difficulty it will be in finding a slip and the fact I will need a tow vehicle upgrade if I go that big, I think I am going to look in the 24-26 foot range, It's just me and the Mrs. and our two dogs. I don't know if any that size have a shower or regular toilet or a galley of any sort but regardless I think there will be too many "accessories" that will have to be purchased in addition to that size of a boat.
Plus the thought of docking a boat that big in a marina frankly makes me throw up a little bit.
Either way I think professional lessons are in my future, that seems like the reasonable and prudent thing to do.
