Hi and welcome to the forum
I would recommend a Catalina 22. these boats are fairly reasonable and don't need to be in a slip . they are very trailerable . Easy mast to step .
Great little boat . can be bought for 3 to 5 k in good condition.
There are many other good little boats out there. Just be safe and enjoy
