Hi,

First, thanks for the advice last week on which boats would be good/bad for me. I'm trying to find a used boat for my wife and son. Based on partly on this forum's feedback, and what's available used, I'm considering a Hobie 20.

But I'm concerned about getting it in and out of the water. I'll probably keep it at a marina on a trailer so I can leave the mast set up. I've trailered 18 foot skiffs (about 2500 pounds with outbound motor). My uninformed guess is that launching and pulling up a 20 foot hobie (about 400 pounds) would be pretty easy, particularly if it was only going 100 feet in a parking lot. After the first 3 times(learning period), how long does it take to launch and pull a 20 foot cat?

Thanks for the continued help,

Jeff
