suggest you look into the MacNaughton "Coin Collection" series.
The Shilling is a 22' version, soon to be in kit form and the Penny is
a 25' boat that offers up quite a bit of room.
The designer, Tom MacNaughton is very knowledgeable and loves to talk
to his customers and potential customers and is more than happy to do
additional designs to accommodate customer requirements, such as
fitting electrical propulsion, etc. Here is his write-up on the
Shilling:

Though I have yet to be a customer of his, he has offered me quite a
bit of advice over the years and I value his opinion very much. One
thing he always strides for is to set proper expectations in the
client's mind.
