Rich,

I know its not SOF, but the most comfortable boat I have is a Laughing Loon North Star.
Big, roomy cockpit ( it is not the smallest one he suggests) and a lot better stability at 22" wide than I thought.
There are shorter ones if you prefer.

Strip planked, about 45#

Rob Macks built boats are a lot fancy-er than mine (actually my sons). You can see it on the North star page under owner built boats. Its the one leaning against a tree.

Actually you could build a SOF from his plan shapes, or others have plans without having to invent your own structure. They might not have as much room.
