If your health is poor...why not use a conventional towed trailer?
For a 10 or 12 foot boat c/w an 8 hp...the smaller 800 lb capacity
galvanized steel or aluminum models should be plenty.


Because he said "I will be off touring in a 4WD and caravan"
American Translation: "I will be traveling in a truck towing a travel
trailer".


More than once I've see a pickup towing a camping trailer and a boat
trailer.

I sure wouldn't want to back up that mess. :)


And in most states that is illegal. Except a 5th wheel does not seem to
considered a trailer for this purpose in California. I would get a 13-14' V
nose aluminum boat and maybe an automatic loader like the Eide Industries
model. Some one in Europe may make one like it. I had a Valco riveted 14'
V nose and worked fine in choppy water and near shore salt water on calm
days. I think the boat weighed about 65 kg.
