Designed as a "pocket cruiser," the boat provides short-term sleeping and living accommodations for a couple or perhaps a small family.

For Sanibel Island off the coast of Florida.


Trailering

What vehicles are suitable for towing the Sanibel 18?

Sanibel 18s are safely towed with Mini-vans, light pickups, and assorted SUVs are all popular tow vehicles. Consult the owner's manual for your vehicle for towing restrictions and requirements.

How much do the boat, motor, and trailer weigh?

The Sanibel 18 combo without added gear weighs about 2000 lbs, on the Baja Trailer. These weights apply to the standard boat and trailer combinations as currently delivered. Based on expected gear, weight for the Sanibel 18 when fully equipped with typical gear and a 5 Horsepower 4 Stroke motor is about 2200 lbs.

What size trailer hitch and ball do I need?

A standard 2" ball will work and the electrical connection is via a "flat four" connector.

What do I have to do to prepare the boat for towing?

After the boat is on the trailer you should secure the centerboard, remove the outboard motor, lower the mast and secure it, secure or remove all loose gear, and attach tie-down straps to secure the boat to the trailer.

Will a Sanibel 18 fit in my garage?

The Sanibel 18 is a close call in most garages, but if you have a swing tongue on your trailer the boat will probably fit. We suggest contacting us with questions to ensure the boat will fit inside the space required.
