We've made the move to San Diego with the boat, love it! Don't think we'll ever go back to the lake, but never say never. I am storing the boat at a marina in National City there is a launch ramp right next door, less than 1/4 mile away. I've tried craigslist and some towing companies but those guys make me nervous.
I'm in need of renting a truck for launching. I need the truck for about 30 minutes to launch (usually Thursday or Fridays) and about 90 minutes for retrieval (usually Sunday around noon). Main reason for the time difference on Sunday is because it takes about an hour to wash down/flush motors and then about 20 minutes to park it.
I'd need a 3/4 ton or bigger, and it should be a diesel (added torque). The over distance towed is less than 1 mile total (both launch and retrieve). I've towed my truck in town here in AZ with a 2500HD and it does fine, this would be about the distance it take to launch at the Islander ramp in Havasu from the Islander storage. Very short.
Trying to find a reliable solution that I can count on when we come to town. Again launch on Thursday/Friday, retrieve on Sundays. On average, it would be twice per month.
