How about a good old fashioned 'dory'. Very seaworthy.
then again Don, dories are cool, but your statement is subject.

I would suppose that a Dory is seaworthy, that is considering
worthy

How about the cold stormy North Atlantic?

Well, real dories are kind of outdated with the advent of new
lightweight, high powered, engines. A dory is a displacement hull, I
think Tom is looking at a creature called a Semi Dory. Hard to put the
low transom on a full dory I think T is sold on the forward motor
well, outboard, shortshaft, whatever design... er, uh, he modifies

I have seen a few aluminum boats in the mid 20 foot range launch from
the mouth of the CT River, The cool thing about them is they are so
light, they can be trailered easily and kept in the yard. Still big
enough to have plenty of room for, um, whatever.. weather stuff, head,
beds, stand up enclosed helm, etc....... Behind a decent pickup
truck...

My 31' Aluminum boat weighs about 3400# with a full tank of 67 gallons. And
the stuff for a normal day boating. But it is 0.190 thick bottom, 0.160
sides.
