People have made the trip with canoes, so any kind of powerboat would work. Up the Mississippi River to Alton, IL (just above St. Louis) Then up the Illinois Waterway to Lake Michigan. You can then continue out through the St Lawrence or the New York State Barge system, down the Atlantic Seaboard, cross Florida and back to where you started from!

The Mississippi won't get you to the Great Lakes. If you follow the river north from the Gulf of Mexico, you'll end up in Lake Itasca, in Northwestern Minnesota.

You don't need a large ship to navigate the Mississippi. A moderately sized cruiser of 25-30 feet should be more than adequate. The trip would be easier if you were to start in Minnesota and travel south to the Gulf. That way you wouldn't have to fight the current all the way.
