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.
