I would bite the bullet for a bigger tow vehicle and get one of these:

With the price of gasoline these days you can get a pretty good deal on a
used truck to tow this thing.

Nice, but a touch much for what I have in mind. Looks up to a
crossing. Also, fairly shallow draft but I think a keel/cb might make
more sense for the areas I want to sail. If I can avoid dealing with
a dink it would be a plus.
