Ken Hankinson's Coastal Cruiser need plans or help

I have admired Ken Hankinson's Coastal Cruiser for quite some time, and was ready to purchace plans, when I discovered that Ken has retired and his plans are no longer available. I would like some help finding plans or an alternate design. I have found two simular plans that I don't like (Glen-L Hercules and CMD
Trailer Trawler).
My objectives are to have a maximum trailerable trawler, to transport to different cruising grounds during retirement (in 10 yrs.).
I want comfortable accomadations for two. w/ head, shower, galley etc
I want something that is capable of cruising the inside passage to Alaska, Puget
Sound, The Bahamas, The Florida Keys, The Great Lakes and the ICW.
I don't know if anything is available that will fill that bill.
These plans could be built as 25' or 27' (I prefer 27')
Any Ideas and help is greatly appreciated

The competition...

Hello...

Not to pump the competition - and I am not really fond of the overall look - but these guys are building in the same marina and have pushed out a very compact boat - yet something that looks well built and bright inside - a very liveable little 'trawler'...

Don't tell my boss...
