Having to travel the Ohio should not pose any issues. I'm assuming you intend to head down the Mississippi? Less draft it probably better, but I would think you could probably manage even with 6' of draft. Having a engine is probably going to be very helpful since you intend to keep it on a river, but once again I'm sure your escape boat could be made to work without one... You don't mention how big your family is, what sort of accommodations you intend to have and how long you need to be able to provision for. However, I'll make some assumptions and recommend you check into an Alberg 30.
