There's an awful lot to be said for it, almost ideal if the budget allows

Oh yes - the other issue with keeping her afloat - cost of fuel! £1.35 garage pump £1.95 on barge - that's £36 difference on a 60l top up!

As my local mrinas don't have slips, that's either expensice fuel or a major logistics operation to get boat & car & trailer to suitable point, slip fees, tow,refuel, relaunch, sort car / trailer again etc.....

So will continue to hone routine - and when out for more than a day use local marina at £14/night for quick getaway the next day.

Yes, it would...

I used to go out with a girl called Marina, she wasn't everyones cup of tea, but she floated my boat...

I would say to remove the straps, throw on the electrics, un-chock the engine, throw on my wet suit and take of the trailer lights its about 20-30 mins depends on if I get a hand or not.
