How about this for a low cost pleasure cruiser

Not sure How I could get it to SE Alaska but still fun to think about. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/boa/2264114363.html

 

it's just 1 photo but it looks like a good deal. and it seems suitable to easily make your own little modifications

 

Bring a sleeping bag and sail it up there.

 

DUDE! Looks like just what you were looking for a while back.

 

Go for it! Throttle back and you'll go farther with less $$.

 

Get a survey and be cautious of any glassed over wood hulls, I've looked at a number of these kinds of boats and all I can say is be careful, have fun with it and take your time. Choosing what to buy is the most important part of maintaining it. Check the cost of mooring and the costs of whatever immediate maintenance is required. Also might ask why its so cheap and find out how long its been on the market.

best of luck

Not sure how I would fit 4 people in 2 cabins in that much space. I've been working on the Kayak Tender design again and I'm at 42'x10' and I think I've checked all the boxes.

 

Ok, cool. Also, I missed that it was fiberglass over wood, as Boston is pointing out. Those may last a while... or may not, so not a good one anyway.

 

Sounds to good to be true. Probably is. Been on the market a while.
