He’s a news dude and you’re wrong fella. 38 foot is plenty to single hand without being unwieldy and if you need to sleep more than 4 you should consider your floating Hospitality Suite that you carry as a Business Expense.
Of course you need to pay the crew even just to bob in the water so it’s the marginal cost of gas for your Aircraft Carrier. I’d still tug around the Day Tripper just for fun though.
