Dear all,

I am a complete newbie who wants to get out there with my very first SIB! After a few weeks research mainly on this forum, I will go for the Honwave T38, and correct me if I am wrong, the T38 is one of the most discussed SIB in here, so I feel even more confident for this choice.
Anyway, I try to find the answer myself rather than bother members here but I tried without any luck, my question is quite straightforward, I do not have a estate car but a MPV like car, I am sure if I fold my back seats flat down, there will be no issue to fit the boat and the outboard with other bits and bobs. However we are a 4 people family, my wife and me plus 2 children(8yrs and 3 yrs), so I don't really want to leave any of them at home when heading down to the coast, therefore I really wish I can fit everything in the boot without folding any seats down. The only hesitation for getting a T38 is the size, I might be wrong (I hope!

), but on the official website, there is no folding size but only "packing size" which is 122 x 72 x 43 (in CM) which is too big to fit my boot, I was a bit disappointed to think we will never go on the holiday with the boat together, however having searching on youtube and seeing other member's photos, like
@ChrisParish @Martin, I have some hope that the "packing size" meant to be the size of the packaging box, however still not 100% sure. I have taken some photos of my car boot space and indicated the general measurements on the photos, hope you can advise if that's even possible.
I don't want to use a trailer because living in London is not that practical (100 miles away from the seaside

), I even think to load the deflated boat on a roof rack, but with it's weight I need to look after my back

The left over option is down size to T32 but I have seen many discussions here so really hope to go for T38, please any advice will help me!
