you know, one of the things I have begun to notice is that everyone who says
they put a bote together and get it in the water in a short time are doing it
with two people, not one.

Well why not? If there are two people there, shouldn't both of them
help?

Also, except for bb, everyone says they have all the
seats/transom/outboard/oarss/pins/pfd's/anchor/safety equipment right at hand.

Seems like common sense to me. Why would you want to do it any other
way? Just to make things difficult for yourself?

I do not agree with just tossing the boat over the side however. We
could possibly do that, but I'd think the boat might land upside down.
It wouldn't sink but it would be a real pain to correct and of course
anything in it would fall out.

We have towed a portabote, and it tows well.
