I seek to plumb the collective wisdom of this group.

(1) What is the optimum power craft for a couple's four-week trip up
the Inner Passage, in your opinion? Specify length, beam, hull
material, propulsion, essential features.

(2) What is the most *minimal* power craft in which you'd feel safe and
comfortable making such a trip?

I'll be happy to tabulate the results and present them here.

Thanks for your input!
