Has anyone (outside of Navy Landing Craft) designed a cruising style boat
that will carry a car?

Bill,

Look up designs by Jay Benford and you will see a couple of crusiers
that show a car on the foredeck in the cargo area. The olny problem I see is
how are going to off load it when most docks in the south are narrow floating
type. Up in New England where they have the fixed piers you can go alongside.

While I was 'day dreaming' and looking at Jay's "Little Ships" I noted that
he had a big hydraulic crane on the foredeck.

I guess that with the shallow bow draft, a skipper could bring the bow into
a launch ramp and set the car/jeep off in the very shallow water.

Myself, I have been carring a moutain bike around, lashed to the rigging..
However I am concerned when I have to haul it around in the inflatable.
Afraid that something pertruding might punture the dingy.
