With big boats on a trailer, the width is more of a problem than the
length and will probably be the limiting factor.

Too big for towing behind a car or light truck. But fifth wheel
flatbed traillers now routinely exceed 50 feet. Buy an old Kenworth
or Mack, and tow away. It's not that the 1 60, 1 81, or whatever will
be traillered every weekend, it just has the capability for
interstate travel.

Well, if you're going that big, why not make it a MaxZ86? The I60
was intended to be a cheap entry into big boat races; why not go for
the really big game? She'd be too big to trailer, but could probably
be made seaworthy enough for ocean racing, with liveaboard
accomodations to boot.

At the risk of stretching a good thing to excess: In today's New
York Times, there's an article about the folks who work as crew on
the yachts of the rich and famous. The articles defines a
"superyacht" as anything over 80 feet . . .

It'd be fun to see a more or less home-buildable Bolger boat that fit the
definition.
