Toy Hauler instead of TT (to carry 16' boat)
We currently have a truck camper, but wife has decided she likes to go to the coast. Given that the weather can be less than ideal and that there might be indoor time, we're thinking a travel trailer ...

Just rent a boat when you get there. All other options seem like a lot of trouble and a lot of expense for a minimally-used boat.
I wouldn't buy a boat just for that trip. It would be used for fishing locally most of the time. In the meantime, renting one there makes a ton of sense and is the plan.

The boat would be in your way all the time inside the toy hauler trailer. You'd have to take it out every single evening. Unless you get a humongous one, in which the boat can stay without cramping your living quarters.
If you feel the need for more living space inside your RV, what about a 5th wheel? And maybe tow the boat trailer behind it? I've seen it done. Backing up is tricky, though.
Doubles don't leave a lot of room for length in anything because of max length and I am not excited about towing doubles. If we found a way to make it happen, the boat would come out when we get there and not go back in until we leave. Once we got there, unloaded it, unhooked the trailer, it would be on the truck.
Just exploring at this point.
