| -- I want to be able to just drive onto a single trailer and then haul the boat over the the prep area to deal with the masts.

Why can the integrated tender under the ww hull not do this? Please detail the concerns you have or see. I can't see them, and you have way more sailing experience than me.

|   We'd use the tender so infrequently (once every few years?) that simplifying the main boat and going with an inflatable tender with a roll-up floor makes more sense than fiddling with the integrated tender.

If you dont think you gonna use it, then you not gonna use it. But you still need a motor, and a way to get on the boat when swimming or load/unload.

Looking at the renderings, it looks like it fits under the current Ex40.

If designed right it could make the trailer work, as it could hold the underside of the ww hull while on the skinny trailer, but that's a guess.

I dont know how a 12' boat with 2' hulls fits on a 8' trailer.
