OK, tinker with this idea.
You've got that huge hull extension that would be an ideal platform for the installation of a Diesel outboard. A 27 or 34 HP Yanmar would probably power you at 4 and 5 knots respectively. When you get down to the Islands, you could buy the Yanmar and do the bracket, tiller and fuel line for 10-12.5K or less. Probably another 10-12K for the paravane set-up later on.
