I've got an 18 foot boat. And I'm new to boating. So I've got a million
questions. And probably more to follow those!

I think my day-trip limit, for now, is 2 hours to reach an uncrowded
warm-water lake.

The first thing to come to mind is how far do you like to trailer your boat
for vacations and long weekends?

How far is too far and what's makes your destination too far?

What makes your destination worth the distance?

I'm making plans now to trailer my Sandpiper 565 sailboat 400 km each
way to a beautiful lake/inlet where i have family.
I debated for months and then decided to pass on a regatta for my boat
which would have been a round trip of 4000km. So I guess a days drive
is the fartherest i'd want to trailer at this point.
When I bought my boat I trailered it about 1000km home over two days.
