Yeah, I definitely want something that sets up as fast as possible, something I can rig myself. The 16 sounds like it would be just as good as the 18. Although I'm not scared to tackle a bigger boat. Not sure I'd want the 19', though. Price is an issue - I'd like something under $1500.
So how long would it take (rough estimate) to rig a prindle 16 and get it off the trailer, in the water?
