In Response To: I would think a small.. (pic) (Jack, H23.5, F-5, Fl.)

I'd seriously consider removing the draggerboard, it's housing, & the winch system. Then I'd add a fixed shoal keel like I had on my ComPac-16!
Three-hundred pounds of concrete should trim it up nicely!

So much useable space in the cockpit and no fuss messing with lowering and raising a draggerboard!
Most likely I'd lose a bit of performance...but it's the voyage not the speed that I enjoy. If I want to get from A to B fast...I won't be in a sailboat!
Just some random thoughts from a P-19 Wantabee.
