if your gonna be a trailor sailor, pick a boat that is quick to set up. i drive 70 minutes to get to the beach so every minute it takes to set the boat up counts. i can set up my old prindle 16 in under 30 mins, logged over 70 outings over the past 3 seasons...could have upgraded many times but every extra thing cost valuable set up time...if i kept the boat at the club, i would go all out
