my 27 is on a trailer in my yard. believe me you want to have it lowered to the trailer so you can position it for the road. onxce on you are stuck with what you get. unstepping the mast is one thing that you can get help for. there will be a sailor around the corner who has an idea. 250 isn't bad when you think of driving the boat down the highway. i am still dreading driving it back to the harbor.
