I have a 4WD ute but also want to launch in wee nice beaches without surfing ute in there. So hand launching would be good. The RIBs just make me a bit uncomfortable re shelf life and having to worry about punctures etc. Tell me if I am being silly and dreaming to launch a Mac360 easily.

I will Tag @madjon_ in here for ya for his opinion but if you go that way I would be going with pushing the trailer out and pulling it back in on a rope with the vehicle if keeping the vehicle out of the surf is an issue.
