Depending on the size of my lottery winnings including a planned trip
from Vancouver to Alaska:
Delaware Trawler?

Sitka Explorer?

The DT looks to be a nice tidy layout. The SE with the diesel option
would also mean a diesel heater which would be a nice item. Actually
enjoy the smell too:-)
Surprisingly similar in displacement with SE only 500 or so lb more.

Going one step more complicated than the sharpie, PCB designed the Samuel Clyde. It's a smoother-running, higher-speed boat, but still very light and shallow.

I may be way offbase but when I first saw the FPB64 the Wyoming was what I thought of. http://dashewoffshore.com/FPB64outcome.asp Yes, it weighs an oder of magnitude more than a Wyoming but with the long lean hull and low topsides it brought Wyoming to mind for me.

It wouldn't be a Wyoming if it had a deep V bottom.
The key thing with 51 foot Wyoming is its shallow/light weight
displacement, essentially it is on plane when it is sitting still,
hence the efficiency.
If a 51 foot hull had a deep v bottom it would have tremendous
displacement, and be a vastly more heavy boat.
