It will be made out of one of those plastic modular docks, so I can take it apart and truck it to where it needs to go. Using it as a boat would be much more fun though.

Using it as a boat, you need to comply with all regulations. It is possible to get exemptions for unusual situations. However, that will take at least a sea lawyer.

That's good to know. I had wondered if there was such thing as a sea lawyer. As of this point I'm scratching the whole Cabo thing because there's not enough time to get down there and put this thing together.

Sea lawyer is the nautical version of what the construction trades call an outhouse lawyer. It's someone who'd rather argue his rights than get his work done....
