Hi all. I'm a first time poster (long time reader/day dreamer) and I am in the same boat that Keiffer was in (ugh puns), trying to evaluate which of the Core Sound hulls is right for me. I feel like the size, handling, and stability of each have boat been covered well but I am wondering if there are any other observations that you old salts might have regarding some of the practical stuff (the stuff I ALWAYS overlook or fail to think of in time, lol).
Is there a huge difference in trailer cost between the two?
I've never pulled a boat on a trailer, is the 20 footer worlds more difficult to manage?
Do the same regulations apply to both crafts (lights for running at night, PFDs, licences, etc) or is there some legal mire hiding between 17' and 20'?
Are they both as easy to register and insure? (I assume this is something you have to do)
Is it fair to say that the difference in construction cost would be less than say $200 dollars? How about the cost of sails for each?
For anyone following in my footsteps (tread lightly ;-)) you may find Palolo Hawaii's comparison of the Core Sound series helpful as well.
