How about a Tennessee? A lot longer than you have been thinking of but
light and low HP, easy to build, make a better camper. See
http://www.boatdesign.com/jumps/dixtenn/Page.html
For some good pictures of one under way.

I appreciate the various responses that have come back. I haven't settled on a design but am
contemplating a length of around 16 to 18' with an enclosed wheel house, capable of
supporting weekend cruising and trailerability to be towed as a combination marine explorer
and camper (when on the road). A 10 or 15 hp outboard seems to be the most efficient when
applied to a displacement hull. I have plans for a Hawkeye that I intended to extend the
house on. But it is more than a strictly displacement hull. PCB recommends a 25 hp but that
is intended to permit planing. And at hull speed I'm worried that it will be a bit noisy in a
chop. I figure that I can be looking for the right OB while I am contemplating design and
construction and with luck may find the right motor between now and launching. In the
meantime I am continuing to look for the "right" hull configuration.

contemplating a length of around 16 to 18' with an enclosed wheel house, capable of
supporting weekend cruising and trailerability to be towed as a combination marine explorer
and camper (when on the road). A 10 or 15 hp outboard seems to be the most efficient when
applied to a displacement hull. I have plans for a Hawkeye that I intended to extend the
house on. But it is more than a strictly displacement hull. PCB recommends a 25 hp but that
is intended to permit planing. And at hull speed I'm worried that it will be a bit noisy in a
chop. I figure that I can be looking for the right OB while I am contemplating design and
construction and with luck may find the right motor between now and launching. In the
meantime I am continuing to look for the "right" hull configuration.
