Don't know where you'd like to trailer-to, but........have you
considered just gettin' a tractor-trailer rig that'll haul what

you've
got, forgetting building anything, haul it to wherever....and

resume
sailing, now.

I got one from Ebay for $5K, including trailer and hydraulic

hoist.

You don't need any other credentials since it'd not be a

commercial rig,
rather your personal vehicle + you can get one with a sleeper,

nay, even
double; so, you could 'camp out' on the way.




You'd still need a CDL, and permits for every trip if the boat's over
8'6''. Do you know what the registration costs are? Ever heard of the
''2290'' highway use tax? You'd have to stop at scales and would be
susceptible to DOT inspections. And then there's the insurance........


shore or into very shallow water. The cruising speed of nearly 10

kts
of the tri beats the mono too. 5 kts for days ata time in the S2

has
driven me nuts before.


ever considered a speed boat?
