Well it's getting time to replace the vehicle. So I'm thinking should I get a truck to help out with the boatbuilding? It will still be a while before I build the liveaboard. So would a car/trailer combination be better? I don't want to get anyting too tall so I loose the kayak on short bridge ( a friend did that with a $1000 bicycle OUCH!! ). If its short I could also store the boat above the car in a garage ( I'm moving in April, building in the living room is getting a little rediculous ). I know an automotive restorer that runs his business with a trailer he tows behind a Honda Civic! So I guess that only thing rulling out a sports car would be ground cleareance. What do you folks drive.
