For your area a Mac 26 seems ideal. Doesn't sail very well, but has a
lot of advantages otherwise, including a 12"-18" draft.
Good accommodations for the family for its size too.

Oi!
"Doesn't sail very well..."
Then why the hell would you want one?
It sails. Just not as well as dedicated sailboats, some of which can
be said of, "doesn't sail very well compared to another."
As I said, it has a lot of advantages.
It sails.
Shallow draft for Florida's gulf coast.
Economical when under power.
Low price.
Lots of space for a 26'
More important to some, if you get caught in heavy weather, it won't
suffer swamping over a low transom cutout.
Anything else you want to know about the Mac 26?

Ignore the idiot, Vic, as always, he either doesn't have a clue, or he
says things to **** people off, one or the other. Neither is worth a
reply.
I do like the Mac 26.
