Hi Mike! Welcome to the list. My first sail boat was an o'day 22 as well and the I moved up to a c&c designed Viking 33.
Ed is right! You're going to love the c&c 34! The power in the sails is probably the first that will impress you! Congratulations on your new boat! As for the hot water, I know a guy that only got hot water from a heat exchanger (just like the fresh water cooling one) it saved him a ton of space but the engine needed to be warm to get warm water. It's sort of an alternative to the hot water tank system and you could always add a tank later on.
