I haven't read this whole thread, so please excuse me if some one else has posted this. I think what your proposing would operate in the water...
Definately trailerable, depending on where we end up buying it would most likely be kept on a lift when not in use.
That would be my first choice, but I'm not against other brands if I see a compeling reason to go that route.
Thanks for the replies, it's about what I thought. I ask as I'm looking at buying a new boat with the intent of keeping it when I retire to...

Scroll down a bit (almost to the bottom) on this page, there's a 57 Cadillac boat that I think is at least a close relative of what your boat was...

I ran across this artical and thought a few members may be interested....
