tiger693 One of my friends just bought a Spirit 22 I think. In Shreveport area. He's going through it over the winter and putting it in Cross Lake next year. Looks like a pretty cool little boat. Spacious. And light. I'm thinking it might be pretty fast. He loves racing.

Your friend won't be disappointed. Those things will scoot across the water as long as the lake will breathe for you-beware the irons of August and make sure the outboard is ready to go at all times.
We had an old air-cooled outboard on our 23, you could hear us coming from way off. I'll keep my eyes peeled this spring/summer, I'd love to see another one of those out there. Pretty boats.
OP- keelboats really aren't difficult to learn if you have someone showing you the ropes. If you're learning all by yourself then maybe a Sunfish will be better, but there's only one line on those and you'll have it down pat by week's end. This is all coming from a sailor in NWLA so we don't get much for challenging conditions though...
