I may still opt for the little boat with a 40 hp 4 stroke that only
has a hull weight of 600 lbs.
I'll have to board it and see if it fits. The wife of course thinks
bigger is better.... she's a bit nervous on the water and really just
wants to invite her friends and workmates out for afternoon cruises
where I would rather tow to interesting places (bays, harbours and
lakes) that seem interesting.
As we used to say with trailerable sailboats... we can run upwind at
60 mph on the highway a lot faster than we could sail to various
sites.

Absolutely the wrong tool for the job. Better to drive a little slower,
closer, and spend more gas than buy a boat that won't/can't do what you
want it to do.
