I see an issue launching/retrieving this at most of the boat launches I know. Plus, it looks only suitable for inland rivers, not most coastal areas where a sea comes up fast.

Maybe l don’t have the details, why would the helm be placed in a position where you have no port visibility and limited starboard visibility???
Nice concept. This is a versatile RV/boat. Though I agree with e.l. Smith on the misplacement of the helm station. That location does not offer the visiblity required by ABYC and ISO standards.Any other discrepacies?. It would be a good idea to have a yacht designer involved on boat projects.
