Ignoring any rigid dollar amounts for total project cost, and instead planning on a boat that could be trailered to a ramp and set up solo quickly, are the specific hull connectors going to be the most critical item to an easy set up? And, are they something one can shop for?

I know my 'Rave's tube mount Ama's with it's bolts, stays,tensioning lines,tramp lines,etc. take some time to put together.

Are the fold out Ama parts that(Farrier?) has on their web site the only ones of that type for aftermarket available?

I believe from fleeting memory they were $10-$15K for all the associated pieces. Sound about right? $@&##@$$$!!

To me, being able to pull up, and sail away quickly would define a usable (and likable) boat. That's probably worth paying for. But only so much.

Bottom line: A quick set up boat would perhaps be #1 criteria for choosing a "trailerable" Tri to me.

Ideas?
