I would endorse the Porta-Bote as well. I have two live aboard/ cruising friends who have them and swear by them. One of them has taken his Porta-Bote around the world twice, plus several seasons in the Bahamas and Caribbean. >From experience, it takes about 15 minutes to assemble/ disassemble

So, Bill. Do you like your PoataBote? :) I've got a 10 foot model, purchased because it is the best on deck stowage solution as you described. I hate towing, except in the islands. And it's kinda like when you're driving a tractor, it seems everyone you pass by looks over and smiles.

Coventina isn't really at McCotters. She is at the Washington Yacht & Country Club where I normally keep my 38. Judging by the portlights she is an early 80s vintage.

Check out Conch Charters. Boats are from Sunsail & Moorings fleets when they are chucked out after 5 years. So boats are a little older and scratched up a bit more, but substantially cheaper. A 43 foot Jenneau will cost you about $2900 for 9 days.
