Perhaps what is needed is one of those amphibious cars.


With a ramp on the stern, a long reverse sloped transom, you
could just drive onto the boat! One question: How do these
amphicars do when launched in reverse?

Has anyone (outside of Navy Landing Craft) designed a cruising style boat

RV'er haul their cars, why not cruisers?

The nautical equivalent is the dink.

I think it'd be more economical in the long run to rent a car when the
mood struck. Most of the time, the things we want to see are within
walking distance or a taxi ride of where we can land the dink. The car
would definitely use space we could use more effectively.
