Hello Antonio, this is in reply to your introduction of Feb.

You are correct that this is a good boat for a reasonable
cost.
Yes it can be trailered. Ours is sitting on a
trailer at the top of our driveway now. We use a 1978 Ford van to
pull it, with 5.8 litre engine and automatic transmission. We haul
it off this island to launch because there is no crane here. I have
pulled the rig from Ontario to B.C. twice and once the other way to
Ontario. You are correct it is difficult at times, particularly up
hills. The truck should have a good radiator, I had an old one on
one trip and it ran hot for 3500 km and blew once on a mountain.
Still it is good fun to camp in the boat at night.
Your other thoughts are also correct. We
found plenty of room for two during a year we spent aboard on the Atlantic coast
and gulf of mexico. Much of the time you are in the cockpit with all
outdoors. We were also glad of the modest length when staying at
marinas and charged by the foot.
Hope it works out for you.
