For a 3 ft draft in that size range, I would be looking for a Sharpie. You are going to be extremely limited in what you can get for $15000 in that size range, but you might be able to find something older, possibly ply wood that could work.
BTW, I sail the Keys, and I agree that unless you want to spend all your time out in deep water, and be limited to the $$$$ marinas, very shallow draft is a great idea. Much of south Florida is off limits too deep draft boats.
