Sometimes I get it, in this case it seems like a perfectly reasonable solution, though I'd just prefer to see a 'boat trailer' purpose built for carrying a boat.
My reasoning is already laid bare in the thread I linked just a few posts ago viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4169

Well I wasn't suggesting that you couldn't carry boats, I was just saying that would be a way to make land travel with a boat quicker, if you have the infrastructure in place (roads and carts built). But not that it isn't necessary, as my first comment in that post was about how I didn't mind the slow walk while carrying something.

But I like conventionally travelling in the hearthlands; and it's unfortunate that it gets marginalized by crossroads for the most part, mainly because there is no decent way to link water travel and land roads speedwise (although good land roads make it safer/easier for the slow walk while carrying a boat).

Didn't Jorb/Loftar say that teleportation would probably be removed in the next world?

Don't throw this kind of thing out there without giving some kind of source.

I would donate 500$ just to see this be true.

Because it's not true. WHile J&L...in chorus with much of the player base...have clearly expressed a desire to see the teleportation system replaced...they have made it equally clear that they will never put an ETA on their work. Even to something as relative as a reset.
