    Rookie move... ;) 75-ish Orrion

    Its her turn now. SELL THE PLANE. Buy her a modern boat. PLANES: I see them as an expensive nuisance and ego booster, that you have to have inspected, wiped down, store and serviced, licensed, insured........ Its all about perspective, but it IS her turn now.

    What trailer length

    I prefer longer. Allows me to open the rear hatch door on the van or suv without it hitting the winch stand. "Legally" you can have 4' of space between the coupler and the winch.
