the journey of boat design

Currently, I want to build a 10m trailerable powercat

Would that mean that the maximum beam is only 8'6" (I think that this is generally the limit for your roads?).
If it can be demountable, @fallguy has built himself a Woods Skoota design that can be taken apart.
 
Beam is 16'-20' . And here in Europe we have serious transport problems if I compare to US/AUS.
 
+1 re Bluebell's welcome above, and the advice he has given you.

Have you written up a detailed Statement of Requirements yet for the boat that you want to design?
If you have not yet done so, you need to do this first - or second rather, after first going out on a 'large, fast, cost effective keel boat' (if you can find one - this might be a mythical creature).
There must be other keel boats that you like / are inspired by re the design that you want to draw up - do you have any photos that you can post of vessels that you fancy, and which you might like to use as a basis for your design?
I really appreciate some designs .
My favorite designer is :
