I have done that, twice, and in my opinion considering prevailing
winds, it is better to plan the trip north to south. (We barged our
sailboat to Ketchikan and sailed to Seattle, once inside and once
outside.)
Depending on the size of my lottery winnings including a planned trip
from Vancouver to Alaska:

Delaware Trawler?

Sitka Explorer?

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BolgerCartoons/files/Sitka%20Explorer/

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.

Decisions, decisions...

PCB did some deep-V boats, but it wasn't a favorite of his. If you chase around in his books, somewhere you will find comments to the effect that a deep-V has less stability and requires more power. He felt the only virtue was smooth, high-speed running in rough water. He didn't like big engines much.

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.

And at least an order of magnitude greater cost.

(IMO) Wyoming is fundamentally a dirt cheap river cruiser intended to
go together quick, and be economical. A scaled up Tennessee.

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.
