It seems like the use cases would be relatively few. I don't think it's road legal, so I wonder if they have a custom trailer that you can drive it onto? Otherwise, it's only helpful if your storage & launch points are in very close proximity, like dry storage near the ramp, or as they suggest on their site "the garage at your beach house."

Better yet, make friends with a guy who owns both. Personally, I'd prefer a house with a private dock berthing an 80' Trumpy. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Ike Offline Expert Boarder Posts: 480 Karma: 22 Thank you received: 14	Every year at the Port Townsend Woodenboat Festival they have a couple of Trumpies (of course not this year as it's going virtual) . Every time I see one up close I get a serious case of boat envy. They are really magnificent. But then that happens a lot around beautiful boats.
