Too much of a PIA to launch everytime I go out. I fish everyday that I am home. With my travel for work, maintaining 15 acres and the house and building. I want to be able to drive to the boat, turn the key and go.
I agree you can travel around but I am mainly a Bay fisherman so I can get from Prov to Newport, Brenton Reef, Jamestown in 15 to 20 minutes. I have 2 batteries, 2 bilge pumps so I don't worry. Bottom paint is an hour as my winterizing guy power washes the hull. It just works for me. I could never envision trailering.

No boat, back in the suds.

i trailer now and it sucks arse. Its not as bad as I thought it would be but I hate coming back in when Im tired and having work to do. I fish alone and Im able to get the boat on and off ok. Miss my slip big time, miss the ocean too.

Red Bull, Coffee, anything is usually necessary.
Naps if the haul isn't far works too.
