Trailering a SC 20 ft
As a sailor going over to the dark side, I have to confess that trailering a power boat is new to me. I started with perhaps an overly simplistic approach of looking at my Honda Oddysey with a FWD V6 and 3.6L engine, 3500 lb allowable tongue weight as being OK with a Seacraft 20 with boat motor and trailer (1600 boat + 700 trailer + 500 motor plus 400 lbs misc < 3500?). I may have just been relieved of a potential fantasy by a refreshingly honest SC 20 ft seller who suggested I might be in for trouble trying to drag the rig up a ramp at low tide in New England. Maybe I wont know till I try. Would appreciate some input here. All hope wont be lost, I will just have to switch to assumption I need a mooring and to borrow a truck twice a year.
