Damon,
I hope your mule gets better real soon.
Have you ever seen a telescoping SC20. It takes 10 minutes to go from 8ft wide to 12ft wide; putting the mast up and down is the same. The boat sails great uinrig and single handed. You might be able to trade some of those Tennessee country boys some moonshine for a real good deal on a boat.
