Great pics...I'd love to do that. And hey, I've worked it out. Those pics with the boat on the trailer in the desert do look like a conventional boat on the trailer backwards, but the later one, side on, shows it is the same vessel. It's just such an unusual shape it could well be called a marine 'push-me-pull-you' could it not..?
