I am not sure that I have seen anything like that but I will look
through my stuff. For 4 people "in a pinch" I say you need at least a 12
foot skiff, but if I were you I might want a scow instead, more room up
front and it might be easier to build. If you decide to modify an
existing plan, that might be the best way.

Do you want "nesting" as a novelty, or do you need it for transport,
other cause I have a 12 foot skiff that fits in the back of a pickup
truck, and would hold 4 "in a pinch"...

Unless that 12' is super wide, is not a 4 passenger boat. My 14'
lightweight aluminum Valco was a 3 person boat. The 12' was shorter by 2'
in the widest portion. So lots less carrying capacity. Maybe 4 little
people.

But he did not ask for a "4 passenger boat", he specifically said "up to
four in a pinch", and this boat can do that, and slide into the back of
a pickup truck too. But it's not a "nesting" boat...

No way, unless a life threatening situation would you put 4 normal size
people in a small 12' boat. What is the load capacity?

What is so hard about "in a pinch"? The calculated load capicity of that
boat at the time of manufacture was 1100 pounds iirc... anyway, I am
trying to answer "his" needs as stated and I stand by this boat being
able to hold "4 in a pinch"...

I am in Australia, was hoping to bung it in a box trailer.
I might in the end go the other way and get a bigger one on a
trailer,but that would mean having three trailers to register each year.

I have a 4'x 8' box type aluminum utility trailer also.
I was thinking of buying a 'sit on' kayak to play with at the beach.
If I do, I'll build a cradle to support the kayak on the utility trailer.
You might be able to design/build something similar.

I do have this which I built to carry long stuff on, 3feet wide 19.5
feet from ball to rear 1 foot high sides, but it is not built to go into
water unless I fiddled a bit, so would have to lift boat on and off
which starts to get heavy over 12 feet if it is not two piece.
Would work for long canoe.

There is a boat called Junebug by Dynamite Payson, but it won't hold
"four in a pinch".. maybe two..
