Largest Trailerable Boat
Good overview but as has been noted there are compromises with each design. Cabin size was important to my wife and shallow draft and less than 6000lb towing weight was my goal. The H260 sits low on the trailer and floats in 18 inches of water. The trailer has a very long tongue extension that even once allowed me to launch my boat in two feet of water on a beach in Key West.
Much is made of the so-called "tender" water ballast boats but this can be a very subjective critieria when comparing similar displacement boats. Rack up some similar boats, crunch the numbers, and make a choice.
Here's a link that might help you sort this out.
