That's what I'm thinking, too. A full size Chevy 1500 4X4 will tow
10,000# and still get an unloaded 22 MPG on the Hwy.

Then you can get a real boat, too.

That seems like a big expense for a retired working class hero who
enjoys a short 4-5 month boating season..

A couple of thoughts:

1. *A 4WD pickup truck gets through snow better than just about
anything else on the road.

2. *You could get a cuddy cabin runabout in the 24 ft range that would
keep you relatively warm and dry in a chop, and give you a fairly
decent ride.

3. *With a proper tow vehicle you could go south to Florida in the
winter.

Tow a boat from Nova Scotia to Florida?

Absurd.

That's right... real sailors sail down at the end of the hurricane
season and before winter hits. It's a short window.
