What to build

I am now looking to build a power boat in the 16-18' range. It should
be reasonably easy for someone who has built 3 smaller boats to build
in a reasonable length of time. What I would like is a boat suitable
for rivers, lakes and near coast putzing around with my family. I
would like the ability to go about 4 miles from shore to an island in
the Gulf of Mexico safely and also explore shallower areas. I will tow
it with a Toyota Highlander 6 cylinder so it cannot be too heavy. I am
considering the GlenL Wee Hunk Pacific Dory unless somebody can suggest
anything better.
