Just found 3 x Dehler Delanta 80AK, the slightly bigger version, on Yachtfocus.com. They would certainly hit your price idea.

Google "Mystere Flyer" and see what turns up. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

How about a Chieftain, the aft cabin version of the Centaur?
Lots of photos of one here, however they say she has just been sold....

Here is one with a rather neat hard dodger - but sale pending :

A tiller saves space when you are moored up but gets in the way when sailing (or seems like this to me) so any sensible ideas would be good.

I'll sell you our Halcyon 27, tiller does not come into cockpit, best of both worlds /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Got a Mondeo as well /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Mcgregor 26 has wheel steering - and not worth paying any more than 12k.... as long as the outboard is quite new.

The Westerly Chieftain sacrifices cockpit space to give the aft cabin. Room for 4 in the cockpit if on good terms /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

There are Westerly Centaur Ketches and sloops with wheel steering.

As someone else said a Mystere is about the only thing that answers the question. I don't think they are that common though.

Good luck with your hunt for such rare beasts. Reasons very few boats of this size have wheeels are.
Cockpits are usually too small (or at least too noarrow).
Wheels take up too much space.
Mechanical advantage not needed to steer the boat
Cost and complication high in relation to overall cost of boat

When you do see one of the rare boats of this type you will understand why they were not popular!

You could always fit one of these or a (much more expensive) folding wheel.

A Centaur ketch has a larger cockpit if you can put up with the mizzen mast in it
