I could work with this, headed downeast through the Fox Island Thoroughfare.

Stable work hull, about 20+ feet long(?). Plenty of beam(8+'?), easily pushed by a 20-30 hp outboard. A good 100 square feet of sheltered space(could use some ports...). More than that again in outdoor space. A canoe isn't a bad tender, and good ondeck storage for it.

A Moss Awning over the bow, and Bobs your uncle.
