Pretty big.

For instance, the Edith Maersk has a single engine and is 1,302.49 ft in length.

Perhaps you could provide a bit more info on what you wish to do so that we may provide an intelligent answer. Clearly, the "max length of single screw vessel" is not going to decrease the size of the selection set.
 
Well..... the Canal System page says : " The largest vessels can be as large as 300 feet long by 43.5 feet wide." Supposedly min. depth is maintained at 12'.

How about a nice Nordhaven 72 as a start in case those canal seas really kick up? http://www.nordhavn.com/models/72/
 
The Nord is a nice boat, are there any budget constraints on this purchase?
 
there are quite a few canal boats on yachtworld. enter <canal> in the
search bar.
 
How about a real canal boat? Or is that too obvious? There are a good number of them in the US now.
 
A big 22' Jon boat, Tent over the top, a 25 Hp outboard. Wont go fast, but it's gonna go by a lot of other boats with a lot less fuel.
 
If you want the smaller express cruiser style boats there are plenty with the overall length in the low 30's. A friend’s boat came from the NY canal systems and was a 27' Maxim (loa was almost 31). If you want a bridge boat then you will need to look at the trawler class. Mainship had a 39' that could have been bought with a single. Lots of options...need more details.

Good Question. For casual inner seas recreation many craft could fit your needs. There's really no limit in "recreational/cruising" boats/yachts. Whatever turns you on. Suggest you coordination with a broker and ask to see listings of the broad range of boats you THINK you'd enjoy.

Good Luck!.
