Re: How much does gas weigh?
It's not that much of a hassle launching bigger boats once you get the routine down.<br />But with the weight of the boat, motor, gas, supplies and trailer, you'd probably be exceeding the Honda's limit. <br />Also the permits for wide loads, I believe, are only temporary, but I'm not sure about that.<br /><br />Something to consider, depending on how often you use your boat, is that you may end up using it less if you trailer it. Especially in the shorter seasons in the Northeast.<br /><br />I grew up and lived most of my life on Long Island. After having the slip fees increase year after year, I went out and got a trailer and truck. Even though this made it convenient when I decided when and where to use the boat, I found out that I used it a LOT less. There's a big difference when you can just drive down, hop on, throw the lines and head out. I trailered for three years abd then went back to a slip.<br /><br />I live in Florida now and I'm back to trailering. But that's the norm down here. The ramps are far superior to what's on LI and also the season is so much longer. <br /><br />That Grady 23 is a nice boat and I'm sure you'd like to hang on to it.<br />Another option would be to get a trailer and store it at home during the winter and rent the slip for the season. The Honda should be able to handle it for a couple of trips a year.
